‘BYU is ... where I want to win the most’: Newly returned missionary Brooks Bahr is ready to contribute with the Cougars
Says Bahr, ‘I’m just excited (for) every night (in the Big 12) playing against guys that are hungry to win, big, strong, fast. It just gets me excited, man. I’m ready to go, I’m excited to play.’
Brooks Bahr, a guard from Keller High in Texas, recently committed to play for the BYU Cougars basketball team. He arrived at BYU in November 2023, after serving as a missionary in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Despite the program's changes during his mission, Bahr never considered playing elsewhere, stating that "BYU is just the place where I want to win the most."
BYU coach Kevin Young praised Bahr's physicality and offensive skills, noting that he can dribble, pass, and shoot—all qualities he has been seeking for the team. As a freshman, Bahr will provide valuable depth and learn from seasoned guards Rob Wright III, Nate Pickens, Dawson Baker, and Collin Chandler. He is eager to contribute to a team that emphasizes speed, hard work, and teamwork in the competitive Big 12 conference.
