This week’s Y’s Guys opened the first episode of year five with Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler covering BYU football scheduling news, major BYU basketball dates, NFL holiday games, and the continuing build toward the 2026 season. The show also announced upcoming Redmond Night with Y’s Guys on June 15 and highlighted another dominant performance from Jane Hedengren, who was named Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week after winning the Big 12 5000m title and breaking a 27-year facility record.
The first guest was BYU associate athletic director of performance nutrition Rachel Higginson, who explained how BYU’s nutrition program has evolved, how athletes are tested and fueled, why salt and hydration matter, and what everyday people can do to improve their nutrition.
BYU grad Bryce Lake from Smith Entertainment Group then joined the show to talk Utah Jazz, Utah Mammoth, fan experience, sponsorships, and the impact of the Jazz landing the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft.
The show also featured Melanie Zanche, a BYU-Pathway Worldwide graduate from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who shared how Pathway helped her learn English, earn a degree, and start a marketing agency with her sister.
BYU Super Fan Porter Larson closed out the guest lineup with stories about growing up in a BYU family, serving his mission during the 2015 BYU football season, favorite Cougar memories, and why Notre Dame’s visit to Provo could be one of the biggest games in LaVell Edwards Stadium history.
