Jaxon Kohler is currently eligible but still has steps to clear to remain eligible for BYU’s season. A California state court will hear his case for a preliminary injunction Sept. 29 in Santa Clara; any ruling would be an interim step, not a final decision.
The hearing is set for 3 p.m. PT. The plaintiffs argue the NCAA’s five-for-five rules do not exclude the class of 2022; the article says a judge in a similar Indiana case granted a preliminary injunction. The writer says the NCAA would almost certainly appeal if the California judge grants an injunction; if denied, Kohler and the other plaintiffs would await trial to learn whether they can play.
BYU’s top 2027 recruiting priority, according to the writer, is five-star wing AJ Williams. 247Sports ranks the 6-foot-7 prospect No. 5 in the class after he reclassified from 2028. Williams has made official visits to Auburn and Mississippi State, and industry sources told the writer BYU is near the top of his list. BYU is arranging a visit, with Oct. 17 mentioned as a possibility.
