Last year at this time, quarterback Ryder Lyons of Folsom, California, was widely regarded as the top high school football prospect in the country who is also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Pine View tight end Brock Harris, also a four-star recruit, was a close second.

Naturally, BYU, which is supported by that faith, had recruited both Lyons and Harris for years, and ended up signing both last December.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Lyons was one of the biggest gets in BYU coach Kalani Sitake’s 11-year tenure. He graduated early from Folsom High near the Sacramento area and is currently serving a church mission in Orlando, Florida.

The 6-6, 245-pound Harris, from St. George, is serving in Spokane, Washington, recently posted a video on X showing Brock Harris dunking a basketball in an LDS meetinghouse cultural hall.

So who are this year’s top Latter-day Saint prospects as the ultra-important recruiting month of June heats up?

That’s easy.

Receivers Blake Wong of Norco, California, and Bode Sparrow of Davis High in Kaysville both fit that bill. They are consensus four-star prospects who are currently making their officials visits to some of the top programs in the country this month, including BYU and Utah.

A source close to the recruitment of both athletes told the Deseret News that neither is currently planning to go on a church mission.

Wong, who is of Chinese-American ethnicity, attended the same high school as BYU’s Bear and Tiger Bachmeier when he was a freshman — Murrieta Valley High in Southern California. Wednesday, Wong revealed that he has narrowed his choices to BYU, Utah, Ohio State, Oregon and UCLA and will announce his commitment live on Saturday, June 27, at 3 p.m. MDT on the CBS Sports College Football YouTube channel.

Wong visited Utah last weekend, and is scheduled to visit UCLA this weekend. He will visit BYU next Monday or Tuesday, and conclude the run of trips to Oregon on June 12 and Ohio State on June 19.

Should BYU fans be concerned that Wong is making a mid-week visit to Provo, instead of a weekend visit? Brandon Huffman, National Recruiting Analyst for On3.com, told the Deseret News on Monday that more and more recruits in this cycle (class of 2027) are making midweek visits than ever before and Wong’s timing is not a big deal.

Huffman said BYU has been recruiting Wong “for quite some time,” but not as long as UCLA and some of the others and has a “legitimate” chance of landing the star.

“He is LDS, so BYU is obviously going to be in the picture,” Huffman said. “He will visit BYU right before he goes to Oregon. That will be a big recruiting weekend for Oregon, and I am sure they wanted (Wong) to be a part of that.”

BYU’s biggest recruiting weekend is shaping up to be June 18-19, when Sparrow, Folsom three-star QB Brody Rudnicki, American Fork tight end Christian Hanshaw, Tennessee OL Kyle Nabrotzky and Salem Hills athlete Peyton Higginson are scheduled to visit.

After visiting Utah last weekend, Wong told Blair Angulo of 247Sports that Utah’s “family atmosphere” stood out but that he wasn’t going to commit to any school until he went on all his trips.

“I know some recruits already have the school in mind before they start taking their trips, but I don’t have that,” Wong said. “… The visits are also important because it is going to be about where I feel most at home. These officials will decide where I ultimately play my college football.”

Wong caught 84 passes for 1,470 yards and 20 touchdowns in 10 games last fall as a junior.

Sparrow, 6-2, 190, is more of a two-way player than Wong, excelling on both sides of the ball for the Davis Darts in 2025. He’s ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Utah and No. 71 nationally by 247Sports and visited Oklahoma last weekend.

He’s also got visits scheduled to BYU, Oregon and Utah and has said those schools are in his top four, while crossing off Michigan and Texas A&M in May.

“I am leaning towards taking all the visits,” he told Angulo. “I am not totally shutting off the idea of committing on a visit, but the plan is to take all of them.”
