AJ Dybantsa commits to BYU on national television
Dybantsa announced his commitment to BYU in a nationally televised appearance on ESPN’s “First Take.”
The No. 1 prospect in the 2025 class picked BYU over a final four of programs that included Alabama, Kansas, and North Carolina.
Dybantsa is the second five-star prospect BYU basketball head coach Kevin Young has landed since taking over as coach in April. Before Young’s arrival, BYU had not signed any five-star prospects in the internet era.
The previous five-star signee under Young is current freshman guard Egor Demin.
Dybantsa’s recruitment with BYU heated up in the spring
BYU got into the mix for Dybantsa when they offered him a scholarship at the end of May. From that point forward, Kevin Young and his staff made Dybantsa their top priority in the 2025 recruiting class.
