Meet AJ Dybantsa: BYU’s Recruit Talks Kevin Young, Cougar Culture and Why BYU Feels Like Home

AJ Dybantsa, the highest-rated recruit in BYU Basketball history, joins hosts Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler to talk about his first days on campus, his NBA trajectory, and what drives him beyond the court. AJ shares the whirlwind of starting classes, moving into his apartment, and participating in his first practice with the Cougars—describing the pace and professionalism of Coach Kevin Young’s system and the excitement of playing alongside fellow future stars. He breaks down his decision to commit to BYU, explaining how it wasn’t just a basketball decision, but a family and faith-driven one. From the moment he arrived in Provo, the support from Cougar Nation, the values of the school, and the clarity of the coaching vision all confirmed it was the right move. AJ also talks candidly about his media journey, including the launch of his new YouTube channel, how he uses TikTok and Snapchat to connect with fans, and how he wants to show people who he really is beyond the dunks and highlights. In one of the episode’s most talked-about moments, AJ reveals he’ll be working the McDonald’s drive-thru for a charity promotion, proving he’s not afraid to stay grounded and have fun. He shares his excitement about playing in legendary venues like Allen Fieldhouse and Madison Square Garden, and even teases some BYU Football crossover dreams (calling out Chase Roberts for a friendly competition). Whether it’s hiking the Y, pursuing a degree like Steve Young, or one day joining Team USA, AJ makes it clear he’s here to make an impact on and off the court. The segment closes with a lightning round of “Five Questions”, including his favorite cereal, music artists, Celtics moments, and what BYU moment has meant the most so far. With humility, humor, and star power, this interview offers fans a first real look at a young man set to change the future of BYU Basketball. #AJDybantsa #BYUBasketball #GoCougs #YSGUYS #Big12Basketball #BYURecruit #KevinYoung #CollegeHoops #CougarNation #FaithAndBasketball #NBAProspect #YouTubeAthlete #McDonaldsMoment #ProvoLife #BYUSpirit
