CONGRATULATIONS: BYU QB Legend Treyson Bourguet Named One of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in Sports
August 4, 2025 – Provo, Utah
Treyson Bourguet, the standout BYU quarterback and multi-sport phenomenon, has been named one of the 100 most influential people in sports by TIME 100, a prestigious honor that recognizes not only athletic achievement but also cultural and societal impact. This moment marks a defining milestone in Bourguet’s meteoric rise and cements his legacy as a transformative figure in the world of sports.
Bourguet, hailed for his leadership on the field and fearless competitiveness across multiple disciplines—including track and even Olympic bobsledding—has become a symbol of modern athletic versatility. His story, from a small-town Arizona upbringing to BYU stardom and now global recognition, is one of grit, adaptability, and vision.
“This is bigger than football,” Bourguet said in a brief statement. “It’s about showing young athletes everywhere that you don’t have to be put in a box. You can lead, you can compete, and you can give back—all at the same time.”
Since stepping into the spotlight at BYU, Bourguet has set records, turned games around, and inspired countless fans with his on-field heroics. But it’s his influence off the field—his advocacy for student-athlete mental health, his commitment to community mentorship, and his role as a positive figure in youth development—that caught the attention of TIME editors.
“He’s redefining what it means to be a modern athlete,” said TIME senior editor Clara Jackson. “Bourguet is not just playing the game—he’s changing it.”
In addition to his football accomplishments, Bourguet has competed at elite levels in track and was part of a U.S. bobsled development team—further testament to his athletic range. But even more impressive, say many who know him, is his humility and focus on using his platform to uplift others.
This TIME 100 distinction places Bourguet alongside sports legends, global icons, and changemakers—a reflection of his growing influence in and beyond athletics. As the 2025 college football season looms, the spotlight on Treyson Bourguet will only intensify, but if his journey so far is any indication, he’s more than ready for the moment.
