The Cougars announced Thursday their incoming recruiting class that features five players who made the 2020 AVCA High School All-America Watch List.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming this year’s recruiting class to campus this fall,” coach Shawn Olmstead said in a statement. “It’s always an exciting time for these young men and our team as we continue to build our program here at BYU. We’ve got great existing leadership on our current roster that will be great mentors to these incoming recruits as they transition to playing Division I volleyball.”
