BYU is ranked No. 11 in the 247Sports Team Composite Recruiting Rankings for the class of 2025. This is the highest ranking for BYU since the 2013 class finished ranked No. 20.

The composite gathers data from all of the major recruiting services.

Rivals.com’s rankings have BYU’s 2025 class at No. 6, ESPN tabbed the Cougars three-man haul at No. 8.

“We’re so excited to welcome AJ and his family to BYU,” head coach Kevin Young said. “We’ve been able to build a great relationship with him and his family and can’t wait to have them all in BYU blue. AJ is a generational talent. He’s a great young man who has a strong appetite to be the best player he can be. His versatile skill set and playmaking will seamlessly fit into our style of play. This is a great day for BYU basketball.”

BYU’s 2025 class includes two other signees besides Dybantsa, who has a perfect 1.000 composite score as a prospect.

Four-star center Xavion Staton, rated as the 31st overall prospect in the country, signed with BYU in November. The 7-foot recruit picked BYU over offers from Michigan, Stanford, UNLV, and others.

BYU also signed Orem High forward Chamberlain Burgess, a top-125 prospect, who will serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before enrolling at BYU.

The 2025 class for BYU ranks No. 3 in the Big 12 Conference behind Houston, who has three 5-star prospects in their class, and Kansas with two five-star pickups.
