Breaking News: Twin Defensive Ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State, Sign with BYU Over UCF, Arizona State, and More
In a surprising twist to the 2024 college football recruiting cycle, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir have decommitted from Florida State and officially signed with the BYU Cougars. The highly regarded defensive duo had been committed to the Seminoles for months but have now chosen BYU as their future home, despite receiving interest from top programs like UCF, Arizona State, and others.
The Desir brothers, known for their impressive size, strength, and relentless pass-rushing abilities, have been among the most coveted defensive prospects in the country. Their decision to sign with BYU has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting world, as the Cougars land two of the top defensive ends in the nation.
Both Darryll and Mandrell Desir expressed that the decision to switch their commitment came after much reflection, with BYU’s academic reputation, coaching staff, and the opportunity to play at a high level of competition being major factors in their choice. “BYU offers everything we’ve been looking for in a program,” said Darryll Desir. “The chance to play for a respected coaching staff, in a strong football culture, and receive a great education — we couldn’t pass that up. We are excited to be part of what they’re building at BYU.”
Mandrell Desir echoed his brother’s sentiments, adding, “It’s a great feeling to know we’re making the right decision for us both on and off the field. BYU has been amazing throughout this process, and we’re ready to help take the program to the next level.”
BYU, a program with a strong tradition of developing top-tier defensive talent, has been on the rise under head coach Kalani Sitake. With the addition of the Desir twins, who are known for their explosive pass rush and ability to disrupt opposing offenses, the Cougars have added two impact players who are expected to make an immediate contribution to the team.
Head coach Kalani Sitake expressed his excitement about landing the Desir brothers, saying, “Darryll and Mandrell are exactly the type of players we want to build our defense around. Their ability to get after the quarterback and their high football IQ will be huge assets for us. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the BYU family.”
As the Desir twins prepare to join the Cougars, BYU’s defense looks poised for success in the coming seasons. With the brothers now signed, Cougar fans are eagerly anticipating their arrival, hoping that they will play a major role in BYU’s continued rise in college football.
