Safety Crew Wakley: A Significant Departure

Crew Wakley, a safety, is by far the most impactful BYU player to enter the transfer portal. This loss is a significant one for the team, but fortunately, BYU seems well-prepared to handle it. Wakley's skills and presence on the field will be missed.

His departure leaves a void in the safety position that will need to be filled. The coaching staff will have their work cut out for them in finding a suitable replacement.

Defensive Lineman Dallin Havea: An Unused Talent

BYU defensive lineman Dallin Havea also made his way into the transfer portal. Surprisingly, Havea never managed to get significant playing time during his time at BYU. This move could be a sign of his desire for more opportunities elsewhere.

It will be interesting to see how the coaching staff evaluates his potential and whether they can find a way to utilize his skills in the future.

Former Starting Safety Micah Harper: A Decline in Playing Time

Former starting safety Micah Harper entered the transfer portal after the 2024 season. This season, he fell mostly out of the rotation, which likely played a role in his decision to look for a new opportunity.

Veteran Running Back Miles Davis: A Season's Ending Transfer

BYU veteran running back Miles Davis also entered the transfer portal after the 2024 season. During his time at BYU, he ran for 468 yards, making a significant contribution to the team.

His departure leaves a void in the running back room, and the coaching staff will need to find a suitable replacement to maintain the team's offensive balance.

Walk-on Wide Receiver Tyler West: A True Freshman's Decision

Walk-on wide receiver Tyler West entered the portal after his true freshman season. This decision shows his ambition and desire to pursue a college football career at a different level.

Long Snapper Dalton Riggs: A Need for a Replacement
