Speaker 1: Bryce Candon National Park is a hop skipping to jump
away and most of the people that visit Bryce Cannon
are not from the state of Utah, and that's a
bit of a travesty in my opinion. So don't be
like the other Utah's that just stay in their little
bubble and don't ever go outside their bubble. Go and
explore the wonder of the West and hike, bike, razor
and horseback ride through the hoodoos of Bryce Cannon. You
will not be disappointed in the experience. Make friends, make
memories with friends and family members down at Bryce Canyon
National Park, and make sure you're staying at rubys in
rubysn dot com. They got cozy rooms, they got a
free hot breakfast, they got an indoor pool, they got
outdoor adventures like no other book. Your maybe your spring
break down there. In fact, a couple of nights or more,
you can get significant discounts when you're staying at Ruby's
In for two nights or more. A lot more play
for less pay, that is their motto. And rather than
going to the mouse or going to a ski resort,
why not do something a little bit unique and singular
and explore the wonder of the West at Bryce Candadnational
Park and stay at rubys nd rubys in dot com.
All right, let's get caught up with legend glasgar BYU
wide Receiver, Jean Glasker B YU wide receiver, true fresher legend.
How is springball Van so far?
Speaker 2: For you?
Speaker 3: Spring ball has been good.
Speaker 4: I mean it's a little faster than well, it's a
lot faster than high school. But to be honest, it's
it's really fun to come out here and just be
around guys that are like loving and to just be
around great players overall, and with just great coaches to
help you, help you succeed and push you in the
ways that you need to be pushed, and just aw
the alumni guys looking down at you helping you in
good ways like you would never.
Speaker 1: Think local kid, local star Lehigh High School. What was
your high school experience? Like you got coached by some
great coaches and uh and had a ton of success.
What was that like for you, being you know, so
highly talented coming out of Lee Hig High School.
Speaker 4: Lee Hi High School was good. My transition there was
really good. I feel like I was welcome with open arms,
and I mean the offense fit me. I love the
play I got to play with my cousin, and I
mean just everything was good over there. They I feel
like they developed me like smarter and just physically like
in a good way for me to come in here
and just do the best that I can.
Speaker 3: They developed me a lot. Who's your cousin at Devon? Okay,
so you guys are cousin family? Yeah, okay, so you
got to play with Devon.
Speaker 1: You guys are both here transfer midyear essentially enroll mid year.
Why why b YU for you? Why why was that
the right spot for you? And how was that recruiting process?
Speaker 3: Just the number one thing? The culture?
Speaker 4: I mean Kline does such a good job with just
like making everything here a family and just so welcoming.
My first time ever here was actually a spring practice,
And I mean just the love and support and just
the welcoming that he provided for me and my family
and just aw the love that I saw around everything
was just amazing and I loved it.
Speaker 1: Who were you trying to decide between or was it
ever really a question where you wanted to be?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I mean I feel I when I got here, you
feel like I always wanted to come here, but I mean,
like the offers were cool and stuff, but like in
my heart, I always know I wanted to come.
Speaker 3: Here easy, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: Did he have any influence on you, Isaiah Glasger, Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3: For sure. I mean just the way they built him.
Speaker 4: I mean he used to be like skinny tall, and
like now he's a brick house, like he's big, and
I mean the development part was a big thing for
me because I wanted to I just want to be
the best of my game.
Speaker 3: And even when I got here in.
Speaker 4: Like December, I put on a lot of way, got stronger,
faster in just five weeks, and like many more used
to come. I can't wait to see the turnout.
Speaker 3: Was that pre planned? Like to get here mid year?
Speaker 1: Did you know in high school that that was kind
of your trajectory?
Speaker 3: You want to be a mid year end rolligue wherever
you're gonna end up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I talked to FESSI Sataki a lot,
and he already had told me He's like, I want
you to come in like December, But like that was
already like one of like my plan that I wanted
to do. It just wasn't like a set thing. And
then like when he told me he wanted me to
come early, it made me want to come like early.
Speaker 1: What skill set do you bring to the wide receiver
room that can make it help make an impact this season.
Speaker 4: I'd say speed kills, so I feel like I'm gonna
get behind the defense regardless, and I'm gonna go make
a play. I'd say I'm a really good playmaker if
you need a play. I mean, I feel like I'm
your guy to go go make that play. And I
mean I can't just do it depends on like the
quarterbacks and everything. So a huge shout out to all them,
the offensive line, the receivers running arounds for me to
get open, and just a huge shout out to all
of them.
Speaker 1: Who's who's stood out to you from the wide receiver
room and who stood out to.
Speaker 3: You from the team thus far during spring.
Speaker 4: Roger Roger, He's like for how like big he is
tight end, he can move like a receiver.
Speaker 3: He stood out to me. I already knew Jojo could
move all that. That's not like surprising to me.
Speaker 4: Kyler, He's for how big he is and how fast
he can move and get out of his cuts and
brakes is crazy to me. And then on the defensive side,
I would say, like Caid, he he's a dog. I
mean he's he's just gonna go make play wherever he's at.
So like he's he's made me like look at him
in a good, good way. Don't want to come across him,
but like he's made me look at him and like Dan,
he's good.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the transition from high school to college.
Obviously it's it's I'm sure it's been difficult, but it
seems like you've already started to make plays. You've been
receiving some good praise from teammates and from individuals that
have been able to see practice.
Speaker 2: How would you describe the transition this far?
Speaker 3: I mean, I have such a good connection with the coaches.
Speaker 4: I mean the transition was like it's obviously a big transition,
but like it just feels like another practice another day,
because I have coaches around me that are going to
put me in the right position to succeed, and they're
gonna help me run good routes, help me in any
type of way. But like it's a big change from
high school to college. But I'd say I integrated pretty
well with I mean, this is my week two and
I feel like I'm making it, like a good impact
on the team.
Speaker 1: What's the message from FESSI and what type of impact ha,
FESSI already had on you through the recruiting process and
now getting you here to b YU.
Speaker 4: One thing that that always stood out to me, Like
any big, big game that I would have, anytime I
would make any big plays, he would always tell me
to work on the little details, work a little bit harder.
Like he was always on me to push me more
than I need to be pushed. And I mean I
love him for that. For just I make a good.
Speaker 3: Play and he's do this, better to do this? Make
sure you do that.
Speaker 4: Like he's always congratulating me, but he's coaching me and
at a good high level.
Speaker 3: Two And that's one thing that I really like about him.
What number are you going to be repping this year?
I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm looking I'm eighty eight right now, but I was
talking to Josh.
Speaker 5: And he said it could change, but if you earn it, yeah,
if I earn it, yeah yeah yeah, So if you
get in that rotation, that's an incentive, right, Yeah, it's
down to Like I was thinking one or sixteen, one
of those one of those two.
Speaker 3: I hope it's one. I'm not trying to be sixteen.
Speaker 4: I can't lie.
Speaker 2: Isn't that Is that a fan? Is that a family number?
By chance?
Speaker 1: Or no?
Speaker 4: I think I don't know how he like he got that,
but like, yeah, it's one and sixteen are open on
offensive sides. But like, I got to prove myself to
earn that number, and I love that. I don't like
to just come in here and like ask for something
and they just give it to me.
Speaker 3: I want to work for it.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be trying to play maybe some special
teams as well?
Speaker 2: What role will you have on special teams? That's one
way to hurt it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to play kick return and part in
turn really get back down kick return.
Speaker 1: They have me.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what they have me, but those
are the two things that I'm on for part turning
kick return.
Speaker 3: What do you want to study while I by Have
you got any idea?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just trying to get those pre RECs and
just trying to stay above water right now.
Speaker 4: No, I'm studying zoology and for this for my whole
college career.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, why is that?
Speaker 2: Like is always been something you've been intrigued by.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean ever since a little kid. I just
always loved animals.
Speaker 4: So I mean, like BYU has a good zoology like
program and all that. So I'm happy to you know,
have that as a good thing. And yeah, I think
it will be fun.
Speaker 3: You mentioned your skill set that separates your speed kills.
Speaker 1: I've been told, like in the off season you were
hitting some good numbers. How many what was the mphs
that you end up at the top end speed you
end up.
Speaker 4: Hitting it was like twenty two miles Prower around there.
That's why it Yeah, around there.
Speaker 3: But shout out to Scaler Maine.
Speaker 4: I mean, even like when I was in high school,
he would help me like get my speed up too
as well. And like him and my trainer would like
figure out drills to like tweak those spots to make
me faster. And that's a big reason why, like I'm
getting faster because of him.
Speaker 1: Was that a big portion of why he also that
you committed to be with you because of the strength
conditioning program, the human performance element.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I said, the way they turned
Isaiah's body into I would like, I didn't want to
obviously look like him like that big, but like just
like the physical speed wise, strength wise, I'd say, like,
I mean I already got way stronger from high school
to now.
Speaker 1: You mentioned your cousin Devon. There's people have been hyping
up him too that he can make an impact. What
do you like about Davon's game and why do you
think he can make an impact this season?
Speaker 4: I mean, he's always just been so elusive. I mean,
you give him the ball and he sees a lane,
He's gone. I don't think anybody's gonna catch him, even him.
He's getting faster too. He plays a good pad level.
Speaker 3: I mean he's getting he's like two a five right now.
Speaker 4: He came in at like one. So like I'd say,
he's at the way in the strength now. They just
gotta get continue to get him right. But yeah, he's
always just been like playmaker as well. You can give
him that lane, he's gone, Like, you're not gonna catch him.
Speaker 1: Who's faster, he's You're the only one that can catch
him on the squad for sure, for sure. How would
you describe the Kolani sataki culture here?
Speaker 3: Just man just loving, just just pure love.
Speaker 4: I mean, every time I talk to him, it's just
such a I have like five second conversation with him,
but I just feel someone so much better after talking
to him and him just telling me good job, good,
do this, good doing this well that. I mean, he's
such like a loving person, the holy guy, and I'm
glad I could be coached by him.
Speaker 1: You mentioned some of the guys on the defense who's
been giving you some good looks in the defensive backfield
that tests your skills.
Speaker 4: I mean, Schmid, I'm gonna give a shout out to
Trade Tray, Alexander Jay will jam Williams, and then even
some of the freshmen that came in with me, Justice Brathway.
He's I mean, even before like springball started, me and
him would always go out there have competition all that
I would win.
Speaker 3: But you know he's good a good look. Yeah he's
giving me good looks.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Evan and Trade Tray, it's a big it's
a big difference between like a college dB and a
high school dB.
Speaker 3: Like they're like their technique is crazy.
Speaker 4: And especially for Evan, he's so fast, Like if you
don't like beat him at a certain spot, like, he'll
be right there on you and trade tray is just
so long he get his hands on you, and he'll
be hard to get out of that situation.
Speaker 3: I've went against him at though, on the opposite side
of him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I won and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we'll have to hopefully get that in the
off season.
Speaker 3: Get that, get that on tape as well. Yeah. So
who do you model your game after?
Speaker 1: From maybe a professional wide receiver, Collagier wide receiver that
you've watched growing up, et cetera.
Speaker 4: My personal favorite player of all time is Odell and
I would model my game after him just because like
how fast he is and like, like one thing I
like about my game, I could like I can go deep,
but I can also like take just sweeps. Like I'm
very like versatile with what I do, and I like
that with Odell's game.
Speaker 3: He's a deep threat, he has good yak.
Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, my game is modeled after him,
and he's my favorite player, so I like, I don't
try to be like him, but like I want to
have his swagger, if that makes sense, I love it.
Speaker 3: Who are your biggest mentors? Would you say as a
wide receiver.
Speaker 4: That's far and as a football player growing up, I
would say Toby Christensen, my wide receiver turner.
Speaker 3: He played here, his dad played here, Todd Christians.
Speaker 2: I know Toby well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been coaching me since I was seven, started
in basketball and then he watched one of my football
games and he was like, wait, you're good, Like let
me let me train you and get you right. So
he's been training me ever since, like seventh grade. And
I gave a huge shout out to him.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 1: Message to Kugarnation on why they should be excited about
twenty twenty six squad.
Speaker 4: A ring coming, That's all I gotta say. A ring's coming.
Be ready for a show. Every Saturday night's gonna be.
It's gonna be a fun ride this year and the
years to come.
Speaker 3: Let's go Legend Glasker, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: That's Legend Glasker.
Speaker 1: Really fun getting to know him, really like this young man,
really good football player, tremendously talented, sixty two, one seventy five.
He's probably up in one eighty five by now, but
when he signed he about one seventy five, already put
on about ten pounds of muscle. Three star recruit per
two four seven was recruited by Kansas State, Utah, cal
Colorado State, and Utah State. Three time All Region, two
time All State MVP one thousand, four to fifty seven
total receiving yards as a senior, marked six hundred and
seventy six yards on thirty seven receptions, nine touchdowns and
added an additional twouter six yard on the ground on
eleven carries and two touchdowns and now wants to He
is the cousin of Isaiah Glasker as well as Devon Ekka,
and he mentioned he's not only get reps at wide
receiver but punt return and kick return.
Speaker 2: Looked got his eye on the prize.
Speaker 1: Guys, anything that stood out to you from that one
on one interview in that player profile with legend glasg
or Apu startus and then Ronnie you bring up the
back end here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he talked about some special teams action,
some kick return, punt return. I think I think that's
a really good way for him to see the field
early on. Like obviously he's got tools to make it as.
Speaker 2: A wide receiver.
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any doubt about that. But if
you're gonna see him week one week two. I think
it's gonna be kick return, punt return because he did
really well in high school with that, Like he was
really good. And that hurt me a little bit because
he took one back against my lom Peak Knights. I
think he was ninety six yards to the half house
and Lee Hi never looked back and just.
Speaker 2: Absolutely spanked him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's really like I think he could really
fill the void.
Speaker 1: There no doubt about it. Ronald, any thoughts, any commentary?
What did you make of that one on one interview
with Legend?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the biggest thing being that stuck out
to me was the number. I know a lot of
people don't like to read into the number, but you know,
he's wearing number eighty eight. When I think of eighty eight,
I think of the great Mike Irvin. I think of
obviously Ceedee Lamb wearing it eighty it's a great number.
So when he said that, and I saw him wearing
him like that's me, I thought his favorite you know player,
you know Ceedee Lamb obviously you know him being a
younger guy. But then when he discussed it being he
was talking about oh moving up to number one, But
I just don't want to take that number.
Speaker 2: I want to earn it.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh wow, I mean I didn't know
he had that dog in him like that. You know,
sometimes guys are just taking it in and want to
do it. But it reminds me of Trey, you know,
if he were to get that number, it's count of
part of number one. If Trey took the number after
plan a year and says, I'm gonna put the target
on my back, and you know, I think Trey's earned that.
So I love legend of not just wanting to take
that but to earn it. And if he does, you know,
he could have a number change. You could see, you know,
number one out there. And I think it's different now
with these younger guys when they adjusted to the number rule.
Speaker 3: If you're wearing number one.
Speaker 7: As a receiver, not the eighty eights bad like you know,
but if you're number one wearing it out there, or
zero or you got two ben or three or five,
you're flashy, right, You're one of those guys that you know,
you're you're a playmaker. You're going out there making plays.
Speaker 3: So let's see if.
Speaker 7: By the uh, let's see if in fall camp Ben
he's number one or if it's still available if he changes,
So I'm excited to see that. But yeah, number one,
Legend Glasser, could you see? Number thirteen? Number three Kyler Casper?
Speaker 3: Who could you see?
Speaker 7: I'm intrigued to see what happens as that they in
spring ball and then get the fall camp.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys mentioning legend, like when when pinged
Win Aste who stood out in the wide receiver room,
et cetera, legend is being mentioned. I thought it was
cool to see legend also highlight. You know, Kyler Casper
has been impressed by him thus far. A very explosive
athlete that is coming from Oregon. So Kyler big opportunity
for him to step up and fulfill a role that's left,
avoid that has left like Chase Roberts, A big, strong,
wide receiver like Chase Roberts, who's been tried and true
baby Well.
Speaker 6: I think an interesting poll or question that I think
would be really interesting to see what fans think is
who would you rather take of the two freshmen? Would
you rather have Legend Glaskar or Jared Pula see the field?
Like if you had to choose one, who are you picking?
And I think it's interesting because I think before springball,
most people would say Jaron Puola just because he's a
four star recruit. But Legend glask has been getting a
lot of praise and he's getting a lot of traction
towards that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, I'm watching DeShawn Jackson highlights right now because
when I watch Legend move, when I watch him run,
when I watch him float across the grid iron, he
reminds me in body control, in athletic decision, to Deshaun Jackson,
that's what I that's you know, Deshaun reminds me of Legend.
Legend reminds me of to Shaun. Now, Deshaun was very
highly tutled, like, I don't know if Legend is as
fast or will be as fast as Deshaun. Deshaun was
so shifting though, so quick, so fast, uh, and one
of the best returners not only in the collegiate game
but also in the NFL during his heyday. And but
how they're built. I mean, I think Legend may be
slightly taller than Deshaun. But just watch their film, like
watch high school film and then watch maybe Deshaun's high
school and collegiate film and Andy they look and feel
similar and how they move, how they how shifted they are,
how they get up to their top end speed with
such an accelerated its accelerated fashion. So I'm intrigued. Both
of them toted the rock too on like those jets
coming off tackle and and maybe Legend he continues to
put on a little bit of weight. You know, he's
got that ability to get off tackle on those jets,
those flight sweeps. So that's getting to know Legend Glasgar
in that player profile. Big grow to him. Thanks for
joining us in that segment was brought to by Game
