The BYU football program is now 3 for 3 in getting commitments from Utahns who were previously pledged to the Virginia Cavaliers as part of their 2022 recruiting class.

After Lone Peak offensive lineman Joe Brown flipped his commitment last Friday, Pine View High twins Dominique and Marcus McKenzie both announced on Monday morning that they, too, have changed their minds.

Listed by 247 Sports as the 10th and 11th-best prospects in the state of Utah for the Class of 2022, the McKenzies had committed to Virginia in September.

They both hold scholarship offers from a handful of Power Five programs and a bunch of Group of Five schools.
