BYU head coach Kalani Sitake signed a historic contract extension on Tuesday night.

And the recruits followed him to Provo soon after.

The Cougars flipped two of Utah’s prized recruits on Friday, signing wide receivers Jaron and Kennan Pula from Lone Peak.

Jaron Pula is ranked the No. 8 prospect in the state and Kennan Pula comes in at No. 11. They had previously been committed to Utah.

The Pula twins’ commitments add to BYU’s best recruiting class in decades. The group is headlined by five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons and four-star tight end Brock Harris.

BYU signed five of the top 10 recruits in the state.
