Cosmo Shocks BYU Crowd With Yet Another Jaw-Dropping Stunt
If there’s one thing you can count on at BYU sports events, it’s Cosmo doing something borderline unbelievable.
From parachuting into the stadium to flipping over cars and more, he never disappoints.
His dunk at halftime of the 2025 senior night was far from his only highlight slam too.

A strong end to the half for the Cougars saw them leading 34-30 at the break.
Cosmo did his job perfectly to not only keep the crowd involved but get them more hype for the second-half action.
Cougars Close Out Season With Rivalry Home Game Against Utah
To close out the Big 12 basketball regular season, longtime rivals BYU and Utah will face off for the second time this year.
The Cougars have won seven in a row and hold the fourth spot in the conference. The Utes have one win in their last four games and are down at 11th.
BYU’s season has been more or less consistent while Utah has been on a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Ironically, the Utes’ peak was back in mid-January when they snuck out a one-point overtime win over BYU at home.
Since that game, Utah has gone 5-8 and slowly fell down the Big 12 standings. Meanwhile, BYU has gone 11-2 in that same period and looks stronger with every game that passes. If the Utes want to pull off another rivalry upset, it will be much tougher the second time around.
