Former Oregon Duck receiver Kyler Kasper is expected to shine at BYU

When recruiting is done, and the class is announced, every one of those kids thinks he's going to be a superstar, and this is just the next step to the NFL.

Unfortunately, that's just reality. Of the 25 or so singees each year, the college team hopes most of them become productive players with a few superstars mixed in there, eventually.

Wide receiver Kyler Kasper was one of those hopefuls for the Oregon Ducks when he signed to play in Eugene in 2022. On paper, Kasper would have any coach salivate at the possibilities. He stands at 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, and has speed to burn. He was a Top 100 recruit, a four-star and one of the best to come out of Arizona at just 17-years old.

But injuries and other circumstances occurred, and it just didn't work out for Kasper at Oregon. No one can say he didn't give it the old college try, however. Kasper stayed at Oregon for four seasons, where he caught just six passes for 77 yards.

Most kids would have transferred long before then.

But Kasper did transfer as he saw that the receiver room get more full by the year and the talent rising exponentially. He saw the writing on the wall, and Kasper moved on.

For a receiver, Provo, Utah, and the BYU Cougars are a pretty landing spot, and now that he's healthy and completely ready to go, Kasper has that coaching staff looking to tap into the talent that never materialized at Oregon, according to The Athletic.

"Cougar coaches think they have found a new weapon in Oregon transfer Kyler Kasper, who caught only six passes over four seasons with the Ducks as he battled knee and foot injuries. BYU needs a top target to emerge with Chase Roberts out of eligibility and leading receiver Parker Kingston off the team," they said.

Sometimes it's just circumstances and fit for some players to truly shine. Hopefully, for Kasper, he's found the right fit at BYU, a place where he can finally put it all together.
