3-Star WR Graham Livingston Commits to BYU, Adds Speed and Depth to 2026 Class
The BYU Cougars continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail, landing a commitment from 3-star wide receiver Graham Livingston, a dynamic playmaker out of Mesa, Arizona. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound pass catcher announced his decision via social media, choosing the Cougars over offers from Arizona, Boise State, and Utah State.
Livingston brings explosive speed, polished route-running, and reliable hands to BYU’s 2026 recruiting class, which is quickly gaining strength and balance. Known for his ability to separate downfield and make contested catches in traffic, he posted 900+ receiving yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior, earning all-state recognition and emerging as one of the most underrated receivers in the Southwest.
“This decision just felt right,” Livingston said in a statement. “From the coaches to the culture, I really felt like BYU was where I belonged — both on and off the field.”
Head coach Kalani Sitake and wide receivers coach Fesi Sitake were instrumental in the recruiting process, emphasizing BYU’s growing national platform, its strong quarterback development, and the family-like atmosphere in Provo. Livingston also praised BYU’s academics and faith-aligned environment, which played a role in his final decision.
He joins a wide receiver room that is steadily evolving, with opportunities for early playing time as BYU continues to transition into life in the Big 12. The coaching staff believes Livingston’s versatility and football IQ will allow him to contribute both inside and outside in the Cougars’ offensive system.
With Livingston’s pledge, BYU now holds commitments from multiple offensive skill players, solidifying their 2026 class as one of the most well-rounded in recent memory.
Livingston may be rated as a 3-star, but BYU sees 5-star potential in his future.
