Kyler Kasper, BYU WR: the 2026 season story
Kyler Kasper is a junior wide receiver for BYU (Big 12). He ranks 115th of 988 wide receivers in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every wide receiver on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked wide receiver, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Kyler Kasper's strongest measure is touchdowns per game at 0.6, 57th of 485 (the average is 0.3). His weakest is catch rate at 59%, 287th of 485 (the average is 61%).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His receiving yards per game, 53, ranks 126th among 485 ranked wide receivers.
Against every wide receiver
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked wide receivers he sits, on average, in the 77th percentile for volume, 63rd for efficiency and 86th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 9 games, Kyler Kasper's best came in week 8 at UCF and his quietest in week 3 at Colorado State.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every wide receiver on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Kyler Kasper is 96th of 485 FBS wide receivers and 18th of 63 in the Big 12. Next up nationally is Carson Clark of San José State, 0.02 ahead on the index.
Wide receivers like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Rodshaun Dorsey of Georgia State.
