This week on Y’s Guys, Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler dive into one of the most pivotal moments in recent BYU recruiting history: the impending announcement from 5-star quarterback Ryder Lyons, who is set to choose between BYU and Oregon. Lyons just wrapped up his official visit to Provo—his final stop—and if he picks BYU, he’ll be the Cougars’ first 5-star QB signee since Jake Heaps in 2009. Already boasting the best 2026 recruiting class in school history, BYU could be positioning itself for a new era under Kalani Sitake.
The football updates continue with a nod to Phil Steele’s preseason All-America team, where Parker Kingston earns honors as both wide receiver and punt returner. Will Ferrin is also recognized after tying the school record with 16 field goals last season. Plus, Blaine and Dave break down the latest BYU staff promotions, preview Big 12 Media Days, and spotlight new wide receiver commit Graham Livingston.
In basketball, the focus shifts to the NBA Draft and Egor Demin’s rising stock, with projections placing him anywhere from 8th to 13th overall. AJ Dybantsa is officially named to the USA U19 National Team for the FIBA World Cup in Switzerland, while Trevin Knell joins Jimmer Fredette as part of Team USA’s 3x3 squad. BYU also ranks third in the Big 12 in returning scoring production, with key contributors like Richie Saunders, Keba Keita, and Dawson Baker back for 2025–26.
Other highlights include a segment with Jim Evans from America’s Freedom Festival and BradyPlus CEO Travis Brady, who reflects on leadership, patriotism, and the growth of his company. The show also celebrates Jane Hedengren’s national high school record in the 3,000 meters, BYU’s top-5 national rankings in Track and Cross Country, and a new chapter for Church education as Elder Clark G. Gilbert announces record-breaking BYU system enrollment.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
