— Jackson Bowers (@jackson_bow3rs) December 9, 2024
Analysis: Bowers, a former four-star recruit, was not in the three-deep this season. However, when forecasting next year, BYU has an opening for young personnel to emerge as the top tight ends. Many Power 4 programs were in the mix for Bowers when he was coming out of high school. We will see if he gets that interest again in the transfer portal.
Miles Davis | RB
2024 stats: 18 carries, 76 yards; five receptions, 68 yards, one TD; One start
New school: TBD
Years remaining: One
Analysis: Davis enters the portal as a graduate transfer. He had an opportunity as the starter at running back against Wyoming. Davis had a clutch run for BYU against SMU that helped set up the game-winning field goal.
Kody Epps | WR
2024 stats: Eight receptions, 54 yards, 1 TD; 8 games played
New school: TBD
Years remaining: One

— Dalton Riggs (@daltonriggs47) December 9, 2024
Analysis: Riggs follows a similar path to his older brother, Austin, who transferred after time spent as BYU’s starting long snapper. BYU will now turn to Cannon Skidmore as the starter at long snapper.
