Yep. Almost same exact experience for me.
I couldn't find any fans at Alta HS after I moved there my junior year. Blew me away. My junior year club award was "most likely to host a KBYU fundraiser".

Settled in AF after graduation. My kids were big BYU fans growing up, but once they got to HS they became a little disaffected--in large part because the in-state kids who had their sights set on BYU were in their words "the holier-than-thou try-hard type". Made me super sad. Two at USU, one at SUU, one undetermined. All of them were accepted to BYU but had full ride scholarships elsewhere. They still mildly cheer for BYU in sports, but their fandom has taken a big hit with the decline of the football program. Between that trend and all of the Utah flags I see flying everywhere in Utah county, I worry that BYU will struggle to fill that stadium in 5 years if they don't start winning soon...
