PROVO, Utah — BYU men's volleyball head coach Shawn Olmstead has announced the addition of Jakai Houston to the 2026 signing class Wednesday.
"I chose to come to BYU because it felt like somewhere I could see myself in the future, with the coaching staff and the culture they built," Houston said. "They made it feel like a home and something I would enjoy every day. I’m excited to play in the feildhouse, with the crowd and energy while wearing the Y."
Houston is a 6-foot-7-inch outside hitter from Hendersonville, Tennessee who has played for the C2 Attack Volleyball Club since he was 12 years old. He was a member of the 2025 USAV Boys Junior National 16 Open Championship winning team and was named to the all-tournament team. He was named a USAV High Performance All-Star in 2022 and 2025. Houston also has been been a USA Volleyball National Team Development Program (Beach/Indoor).
Houston will enroll at BYU in the fall of 2026.
