BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy will return for his senior season.
The decision is somewhat unexpected after Van Noy's ridiculous bowl game performance, but we aren't worried about the junior playing at the same level he exhibited this year in 2013. He won't have Ziggy Ansah playing in front of him, but Van Noy is an aggressive pass rusher that flashes comfort in space. We expect Van Noy to be projected as a first-round pick heading into the 2013 season. Mon, Dec 31, 2012 12:15:00 PM

Kyle Van Noy - LB - Cougars

BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy dominated San Diego State Thursday night, registering 3.5 tackles for loss, including 1.5 sacks, an interception for a touchdown, a forced fumble for a touchdown, and a blocked kick.

It may end up being the most dominant performance of the bowl season. Van Noy is only a junior, but he has been rumored to seriously be considering the NFL. Senior defensive end Ezekiel Ansah will draw a lot of pre-draft buzz, but Van Noy is an excellent prospect in his own right due to a knack of disrupting the backfield and making plays. He has experience as a pass rushing linebacker in a three man front and some work as a traditional linebacker behind a four man line.

BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy will reportedly wait to hear from the Draft Advisory Board before making a decision about his NFL future.

Van Noy is a relentless rusher off the edge who wins with technique and a motor. Like other BYU products, his age may be a factor in his decision, but Van Noy is an intriguing day two pick that could move into the top-50 picks.

CBS Sports' Rob Rang says that BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy may be the most underrated prospect in the country.

Rang ranks Van Noy 38th overall among draft-eligible prospects and calls the junior "athletic, explosive and (a) natural playmaker." Senior Ezekiel Ansah is starting to draw more national attention, so that could lead to more people taking note of Van Noy as well. Still, it may not be a sure thing that the latter declares for the 2013 Draft.

Kyle Van Noy - LB - Cougars

BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy tallied three tackles for loss, including one sack, Saturday against San Jose State.

San Jose State has a very under-publicized quarterback in junior David Fales, and Van Noy was able to chase him across the field on his only sacks. Teammate Ezekiel Ansah is starting to get more attention, and rightfully so, but don't sleep on Van Noy. The junior is a high effort player that makes things happen on first contact.

BYU junior OLB Kyle Van Noy has yet to decide his potential NFL future following the 2012 season.

"That will be something that I will have a discussion with my parents about after the final game," Van Noy said. However, the junior may have hinted he is leaning towards leaving after saying "(BYU) will always have players that will fill in, and keep moving on and keep getting better." He doesn't have the upside of teammate Ezekiel Ansah, but Van Noy is relentless in his pursuit. However, age is always a potential issue with BYU players.
