BYU Cougars transfer portal
There are Cougars players who have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal:
#1 Miles Davis, Running Back
Redshirt sophomore Miles Davis has the most experience out of anyone here. getting snaps on the field. He has posted 72 rushing attempts for 392 yards (5.4 yards per carry) with two rushing touchdowns and11 receptions for 63 yards (5.7 yards per catch).
He's going to get some strong offers, as he has some eligibility remaining and has shown to be able to get chunks of yards whenever the ball is in his hands.
UPDATE: Davis has withdrawn his transfer request and will be returning to BYU.
#2 Sol-Jay Maiava, Quarterback
Redshirt sophomore Sol-Jay Maiava is looking for a new program to call home and has only played one game in his collegiate career.
That was in the 2022 New Mexico Bowl, where he went 7-of-12 for 47 yards with an interception while also running 14 times for 96 yards (6.9 yards per carry) with a rushing touchdown.
However, he did not get opportunities this season and is looking to build on what he has shown he could do.
#3 Austin Riggs, Longsnapper
Junior longsnapper Austin Riggs has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and has been one of the top longsnappers in college football.
He has played 21 games and has done a good job in terms of getting the ball to the punter and setting them up for success. Expect teams to look for him to help be a strong special teams player.
#4 Michael Daley, Linebacker
Redshirt sophomore Michael Daley is looking for a new place to call home, as he has not seen the field.
It will be intriguing to see what interest he will draw, as he has not played a single snap of college football through three seasons.
#5 Dom Henry, Wide Receiver
Redshirt freshman Dom Henry has only seen the field in one game this season for the Cougars. He played against Iowa State but did not record any stats against the Cyclones.
Henry is a three-star prospect, and with a few years of eligibility remaining, this could be a good chance for him to get accustomed to a new program.
#6 John Henry Daley, Defensive End
Freshman edge rusher John Henry Daley has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after one season with the Cougars.
He only appeared in two games and finished with three total tackles. The three-star prospect should have a decent amount of suitors as he looks for a new home.
#7 Dylan Rollins, Offensive Tackle
A three-star recruit from the 2021 class, Rollins joined the Cougars as a highly-sought after prospect. A former Montana Gatorade Player of the Year winner, Rollins will now look for a new home, after 3 years in Utah.
