Overview

• The brothers announced Friday that they have decommitted from Utah and will sign with BYU.
• Both cited their relationship with head coach Kalani Sitake as the key factor after BYU ramped up its pursuit in recent weeks.
• The move follows earlier verbal commitments to UCLA and then Utah, with the twins opting not to sign with the Utes when the early window opened.
• Their additions bolster BYU’s 2026 class, ranked No. 21 nationally and No. 2 in the Big 12 by the 247Sports composite, with Jaron’s pledge giving the Cougars seven composite four-star recruits.
• Jaron is expected to compete for early snaps at receiver, while BYU plans to start Kennan at safety as a two-way option, and recruiting outlets differ on Kennan’s rating with the 247Sports composite listing him as a three-star.
