‘This definitely helped’: Four-star Gaige Weddle on whether BYU could move into his top group

Four-star safety Gaige Weddle, a top prospect from Rancho Bernardo, California, left speechless after witnessing BYU’s dramatic upset victory over Notre Dame in Provo. The Cougars secured a last-second win with a touchdown and a controversial no-call on the final play, sending the stadium into euphoric celebration.

Weddle, who had planned to limit his college visits this offseason, now believes the experience could push BYU into his top tier of programs. His recruitment remains competitive, with Georgia, Ohio State, and Utah leading the pack, though Oklahoma also remains a strong contender.

Weddle’s father, Eric, played at Utah before a long NFL career, adding a personal connection to the Utes’ upcoming visit. With upcoming games against UCLA, Oklahoma, Utah, Georgia, Miami, and Ohio State on his schedule, Weddle’s decision may hinge on whether BYU’s performance shifts his perspective on the program’s level of play.
