BYU Football Program Faces Massive Roster Changes Due to Transfer Portal Exoduses
The transfer portal has caused a seismic shift in college football rosters, including the BYU football program. Since the end of the 2023 season, 19 players have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, with 14 finding new homes at other programs.
Among the transfers, a notable trend is the movement of defensive linemen, with players like Danny Saili and John Henry Daley seeking opportunities elsewhere. This creates a challenge for BYU's defensive line, but incoming players like Sani Tuala and Luke Toomalatai will have a chance to step up.
Ryder Burton and Nick Billoups, two quarterbacks buried in the depth chart, have landed at P4 programs, while others like Naseri Danielson and Dom Henry are now playing at G5 schools.
Former players like Kade Moore and Devin Downing have found new homes at FCS programs, showing the diverse paths that transfers can take. However, some players are still weighing their options or waiting for offers, emphasizing the uncertainty of the transfer process.
