Injuries plagued Ah You’s time in Provo. He appeared in just 30 contests over six seasons at linebacker and safety.

He totaled 87 tackles and two interceptions, including one in 2021′s 26-17 victory over rival Utah.

In 2023, Ah You played in just two games and tallied four total tackles.

Ah You’s father Jasen is currently the assistant athletic director for football academics at BYU. He will need a medical redshirt waiver from the NCAA in order to be eligible for the 2024-25 season.
