Well, the 2024 season brought a whirlwind of changes for BYU, with around 16 players deciding to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. It’s like a game of musical chairs, but instead of chairs, it’s schools—and everyone’s hoping to score a better spot.
As of now, seven of those players have already made their next moves. I mean, it’s always interesting to see where these guys land.
First up, we have Kody Epps, a veteran wide receiver who faced a tough injury against Baylor and, sadly, couldn’t bounce back in 2024. He’s transferring to Western Kentucky, probably hoping for a fresh start and a chance to really show what he can do. You know how it goes—some new scenery can work wonders.
Then there’s Jackson Bowers, the former four-star tight end who decided it was time to move on after two years at BYU. He’s headed to Oregon State, which is exciting for him. I always think of these kids and their dreams; it’s like they’re taking their shot at the big leagues.
Now, speaking of exciting moves, Aisea Moa is off to Michigan State. This linebacker is the first BYU transfer to land at a Power 4 school, and I can just imagine how pumped he must be. It’s a big deal.
Miles Davis, a veteran running back, is moving to Utah State after racking up some solid yardage at BYU—468 yards, to be exact. It sounds like he’s ready to keep making those plays.
Jake Eichorn is also making the jump to Utah State—really seems like a popular choice! After transferring to BYU from Weber State, he’s definitely creating his path. Talk about a little reunion.
We can’t forget about true freshman Dallin Johnson and walk-on Prince Zombo, both heading to Utah Tech. It’s always interesting to see these younger players decide they need a change, especially after just one season.
Now, while seven have made their commitments, there are still some players who are keeping everyone on their toes.
Crew Wakley, the safety with a significant impact, has drawn attention from several schools including Utah State and Iowa State. He hasn’t committed yet, which makes it even more suspenseful! I mean, can you imagine the pressure?
Then there’s Sione Moa, Aisea’s brother, who recently joined the portal as well. With offers rolling in from places like UNLV, it seems like he’s following in his brother’s footsteps—literally.
As for David Latu, this defensive tackle is still weighing his options, and I can’t help but wonder where he’ll end up. Being fourth in snaps in 2023 must have felt good, but it looks like he’s searching for a spot where he can shine a little brighter.
True freshman quarterback Noah Lugo hasn’t committed anywhere yet but has some offers from Rice and UTEP. It seems it was a whirlwind year for him, after being part of BYU for just one season.
And let’s not overlook Dalton Riggs, the long snapper who’s decided to stay put until he graduates, even though he’s got multiple offers coming in.
All in all, the transfer portal is creating a lot of excitement, Feels like 2025 is going to have a fresh roster for BYU, and who knows how these changes will pan out? I’m definitely excited to keep an eye on where these players land and how they contribute to their new teams. What do you think? Got any predictions for these guys?
