Signing classes 2016 · NFL signee counts by recruit position
The BYU 2016 recruiting class displayed a mix of outcomes, with some recruits performing well above their rankings while others fell short of expectations. Overall, the class had a class rating of 0, indicating that the overall performance did not meet the anticipated levels based on the original rankings. The S2S rerank moving from 79 to 57 suggests a slight improvement as players developed, but the class's overall effectiveness remained below average.
Among the 26 recruits, only one player, Jaren Hall, achieved a notable outcome of being NFL Drafted, indicating a strong individual performance despite the overall class rating. Meanwhile, several recruits labeled as "Bust" or "Contributor" suggest that the evaluation and expectations for those players did not align with their actual impact on the field.
The distribution of outcomes indicates a need for improved evaluation processes or developmental strategies within the program. A blue chip percentage of just 4% further emphasizes the reliance on lower-ranked recruits who exceeded expectations, such as Hall, while higher-ranked recruits did not consistently deliver desired results.
This recruiting class underperformed expectations overall, with a significant portion of recruits failing to meet their projected impact levels. The S2S rerank improved slightly, reflecting the development of certain players, but the class's effectiveness was hindered by the presence of multiple busts and low contributions from several ranked recruits. In conclusion, while there were standout performances, the overall results suggest that BYU's 2016 class did not fulfill its potential.
