<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/chamberlain-burgess-240575/">Chamberlain Burgess</a>, On3’s No. 143 overall prospect in the 2025 class, has committed to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/byu-cougars/">BYU</a> and head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/kevin-young-246434/">Kevin Young</a>, he told On3. 



The 6-foot-9 power forward out of Orem High School (UT) chose the Cougars over <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/illinois-fighting-illini/">Illinois</a>. 



The three-star recruit is the nephew of former McDonald’s All-American <a href="https://byucougars.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/season/2024-2025/staff/chris-burgess">Chris Burgess</a>, who currently serves as an assistant coach at BYU. Chamberlain’s parents, Josh and Ashleigh, both played basketball at BYU.

Chamberlain Burgess discussed his decision to choose BYU with On3. 



“I chose BYU because of the coaching staff and the style of play fits my game. Coach Young and his staff have been extremely consistent from the very beginning of this process. And he’s worked hard to develop a relationship with me.”



In his own words, what type of player is BYU getting in Chamberlain Burgess?



“My style is to play fast. I’m a versatile big that can spread the floor and protect the rim on defense.”



He has a message for BYU fans. 



“I didn’t come here to lose.”

According to On3’s Jamie Shaw, Chamberlain Burgess was one of the five major stock risers at the Adidas 3SSB Championships:



“Chamberlain Burgess is a 6-foot-9 forward who plays with a bit of a nasty streak but also is a very fluid athlete. It is the fluid athleticism, the way he moves, that makes the late-blooming forward so interesting. Throughout the Adidas 3SSB Championships, Burgess consistently got better in each showing, ultimately finishing the week with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 blocks in the championship win. Burgess can slide his feet on switches and act as a weakside rim protector. Offensively, he has a shooting touch that extends beyond the three-point arc in pick-and-pop situations and he runs the floor well. He will need to continue adding strength, but the skill set is there and his production is starting to become more consistent.”
