Former BYU basketball icon Jimmer Fredette would undoubtedly be a smash hit among the fan base. Fredette, known for his "Jimmer Range" long distance 3-pointers, was the national player of the year in 2011 and has his No. 32 retired by the basketball program.

Fredette went No. Although he's known more for his overseas career as he never quite figured out the NBA, 10 overall in the 2011 NBA Draft. As he was named the USA Basketball 3×3 Male Athlete of the Year in 2023, he most lately identified success in 3×3 Basketball.

Steve Young has TV experience and is obviously a BYU legend. The left-handed quarterback was the NCAA's passing yards and passing touchdowns leader in 1983, before going on to win three Super Bowls and two NFL MVPs.

He's one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live, in both college and the NFL. He was a part of ESPN layoffs in 2023 after serving as an NFL analyst, most notably on "Monday Night Football."

Jamaal Williams would probable be hilarious if invited onto "College GameDay." The former BYU running back became known for his hilarious antics, from his anime knowledge to his Pokémon collection, in the NFL.

Williams, a fourth-round pick out of BYU in 2017, has 4, 122 career rushing yards with 40 total touchdowns in the NFL. Although he lately worked out for the New England Patriots, he is at present not on a team.

How regarding reigning NBA draft No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa? The former BYU forward has his final preseason game with the Washington Wizards on Friday, Oct. 16, in New Orleans, but could create it to Provo in time for the game, especially with a few days in between the conclusion of the preseason and the start of the NBA season.

BYU legend Danny Ainge could be another option. The current CEO of basketball operations for the Utah Jazz won two NBA championships with the Boston Celtics in 1984 and 1986 after a star-studded career with the Cougars.

Ainge, like Fredette, has his jersey (No. 22) retired after winning national player of the year honors in 1981. Ainge was a three-time All-American and held a previous NCAA record for scoring in double figures in 112 consecutive games. SMS Facebook Twitter Email.
