Flash Commit: Speedy Wide Receiver Graham Livingston Pledges to BYU Football
The BYU Cougars just added a lightning bolt to their offense. Graham Livingston, a dynamic three-star wide receiver known for his breakaway speed and crisp route running, has officially committed to BYU as part of the Cougars’ 2026 recruiting class.
Hailing from Chandler, Arizona, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound receiver chose BYU over offers from Arizona State, Utah, and Boise State. Livingston’s commitment is being hailed as a significant win for the Cougars’ offensive future — and a sign that BYU is continuing to attract elite talent to Provo, especially as they gain momentum in the Big 12.
Livingston’s junior season turned heads across the West. He recorded 72 receptions for 1,120 yards and 14 touchdowns, showcasing not just straight-line speed, but exceptional football IQ and hands. Scouts have praised his ability to stretch defenses vertically and create separation in tight coverage — skills that fit perfectly in BYU’s high-octane passing attack.
“I felt something different at BYU,” Livingston said after his commitment. “It’s not just the facilities or the coaches — it’s the people. The fans, the energy, the direction of the program… I want to be part of that.”
Offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick reportedly played a key role in securing Livingston’s pledge, painting a vision of him as a future WR1 and immediate contributor in the Cougars’ evolving offense. BYU coaches have compared Livingston’s upside to past Cougar greats, citing his potential to be a difference-maker from day one.
With Livingston now in the fold, BYU’s 2026 class continues to take impressive shape. And if his speed translates at the next level, defenses across the Big 12 should take notice.
Graham Livingston is bringing the fast lane to Provo.
