- The brother of a former BYU star has committed to the Cougars
Another Bywater is headed to BYU.
Olympus High linebacker Adam Bywater has committed to the Cougars, he announced Monday via social media.
Bywater is rated as a 3-star recruit by 247 Sports , owning an overall player grade of 86 as the No. 20-ranked recruit in Utah.
He chose BYU over competing offers from Boise State, Arizona State, Utah and a number of other programs.
Listed as 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Bywater recorded 80 total tackles — six for loss — and four pass breakups as a junior for Olympus last season.
Bywater's older brother, Ben, played at BYU from 2019-23 before a shoulder injury forced him to medically retire from football last summer. The former team captain averaged 100 tackles per season between 2021-22 and was the defensive MVP of the 2022 New Mexico Bowl.
