BYU is looking to reload through the transfer portal after a successful 2022 season. Here are seven key targets for the Cougars, including a potential offensive line anchor and a top cornerback.
The transfer portal cycle moves quickly. Since the transfer portal opened last Monday, BYU has identified multiple targets and picked up its first transfer commitment of the cycle in Carsen Ryan. Today, we're breaking down seven BYU transfer targets that fans should know.Michigan transfer Andrew Gentry turned down BYU not once, but twice in his previous recruitments.
Gentry committed to Virginia and Bronco Mendenhall coming out of high school, then he committed to Michigan when Mendenhall stepped down at UVA. During both recruitments, BYU wanted Gentry in Provo. Perhaps the third time will be the charm for the Cougars. Gentry is one of top available tackles in the portal after starting multiple games for Michigan last season. He suffered an injury that kept him out of the lineup later in the year (and could potentially be a concern going into next season), but he would be the heavy favorite to step in and start right away for BYU if he is healthy.

Cameron Calhoun, a former standout at Utah, is one of BYU's top cornerback targets and he was on campus last weekend for a visit. He was in Tuscaloosa visiting Alabama on Tuesday. If BYU could convince Calhoun to stay in Utah and make the move down to Provo, he would slide immediately into the starting lineup for Jay Hill and BYU's defense. BYU needs to replace its top cornerbacks from a year ago, and adding Calhoun would go a long way in filling that void.Former four-star recruit Tausili Akana was the top recruit in the state of Utah in the 2023 class. Akana signed with Texas and entered the transfer portal with three years of eligiblity remaining. Now he is a target for BYU, and the Cougars are hoping to get him on campus for a visi
