There are some guys on the team with high school bests of 6'8 to 6'10, but

I would say 7'0 or higher to be competitive.

If they want to be at BYU, they shouldn't be getting high before they jump.

Paco

Looks to me like 7'1" is 10th place in the BYU record book. No?

and IIRC there aren't very many full scholarships anymore

Nat Gas Man

Right, but I don't think the OP asked about scholarships

I just assumed that was part of the equation...maybe they have walkons

Nat Gas Man

2/24/17 4:02pm

Most of the team is comprised of walkons

How high can a high jumper jump if a high jumper could jump high?

I'd guess that a consistent 7'8" would get him a look.

I wanted my brother to go out for track at BYU. He jumped 6-6 in high school

SoCalCoug

That's about right. I did 6'8" (and 23' in the long jump) & got a walk-on offer.
