2016 BYU Cougars men's soccer team

The 2016 BYU Cougars men's soccer team is part of the BYU Athletics program but does not play in a college conference. Instead they are competing in the 2016 USL Premier Development League. The Cougars are coached by first year head coach Brandon Gilliam.[1] In addition to a new coach, BYU moves from the Mountain Division of the PDL to the Central Pacific division. The Mountain Division was folded after the Real Colorado Foxes franchise folded.
