SALT LAKE CITY – The BYU Football program received a big commitment on Friday afternoon from four-star tight end Jackson Bowers from Arizona.
Jackson Bowers is a four-star tight end from Mountain View High School in Mesa, Arizona that will be playing for BYU at the collegiate level.
Bowers is the No. 16 ranked tight end in the nation and the No. 5 ranked prospect in the state of Arizona, according to the 247Sports composite.
The Mesa, Arizona native announced his decision on social media on Friday.
“First off, I would like to thank my family, especially my mom,” Bowers said in a video posted on social media. “I would like to thank the whole Mountain View football community, my teammates, and coaches. I’d like to thank my D-1 seven-on-seven family. I would like to thank my trainers and everyone who helped me gain this ability to play football at a high level. With that said, for the next three to four years I will be committing to Brigham Young University.”
