Lehi High graduate Legend Glasker remains healthy and continues to lead the receiving corps for No. 8 BYU heading into the team's home game against Iowa State on Friday, Oct. 9. The matchup is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. MDT at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.
While Legend Glasker is available for the game, his second cousin, linebacker Isaiah Glasker, has been ruled out due to a knee injury. According to a BYU official availability report released Tuesday, Oct. 6, Isaiah Glasker sustained the injury while blocking during the 17-10 victory over TCU on Saturday, Oct. 3. Following the injury, Isaiah Glasker was scheduled for an MRI on Sunday, Oct. 4.
Junior Jake Clifton has replaced Isaiah Glasker on the depth chart at the rover linebacker position, according to a report from the Deseret News on Oct. 6. BYU head coach Kalani Sitake noted after the TCU game that the coaching staff would need to evaluate Isaiah Glasker after seeing him standing and moving following the injury.
Legend Glasker, a true freshman, has recorded 14 catches for 279 yards and two touchdowns through four games. He has also contributed 10 carries for 68 yards and two rushing scores. An Iowa State game primer noted that Glasker is the second FBS wide receiver in the last 30 years to record multiple rushing and receiving scores through the first four games of a career. Glasker has also earned Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors twice during the first three weeks of the season.
The No. 8 ranked Cougars enter the game with a 4-0 record and 2-0 in the Big 12, though the roster faces several availability issues. Running back LJ Martin is listed out with an ankle injury, and running back Sione Moa is also listed as out. Safety Raider Damuni is listed as doubtful, while cornerback Cannon DeVries is listed as probable following a lower-leg injury sustained during the TCU game.
Legend Glasker enrolled early at BYU in January alongside fellow Lehi High graduate Devaughn Eka to participate in spring practice. BYU receivers coach Fesi Sitake stated in a Sept. 9 Deseret News report that Glasker has mastered the playbook. Glasker's debut occurred on Sept. 5 in a 63-7 win over Utah Tech, where he recorded three touchdowns.
Following the Friday night kickoff against Iowa State, which is 3-2 and 1-1 in the Big 12, BYU is scheduled to host No. 3 Notre Dame on Saturday, Oct. 17.
