AJ Dybantsa, whose NIL value is $3.8 million per On3, is the most sought-after player from the Class of 2025, even though he isn't considered the consensus No. 1 overall. During his senior year, he played for Utah Prep and chose BYU over blue blood schools like Kansas and North Carolina and rising powerhouses like Alabama.
His mom, Chelsea, is often seen cheering for him, especially in big games. He also posts photos with her. His dad, Ace, mostly handles deals with various teams. His parents often accompany him to his official visits. He even took a photo with them during his official visit to BYU in October.
He represented his mom's home country, Jamaica, and his dad's home country, Congo, during last year's Nike Hoop Summit, playing for Team World. He suited up for Team USA this year and said he was playing for himself.
AJ Dybantsa's parents toured BYU without him before his official visit
Regarding his decision in November, recruiting insiders had already projected that he would choose BYU, given that he had already visited Provo multiple times. However, Cougars assistant coach Collin Terry revealed that on Apr. 22 last year, before his official visit to BYU and before his transfer to Utah Prep from California's Prolific Prep, his parents, Ace and Chelsea, went on a tour of the school.
During that visit, Terry showed the couple around, with then-new head coach Kevin Young even flying in from Phoenix as he was still an assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns then. Terry also showed them around the Marriott Center and the basketball facilities.
Following that April 2024 visit, the Dytbantsas would return on June 3, 2024, with AJ in tow. This second visit left an impression on the family, as the No. 1 prospect returned in October for his official visit.
