BYU Owning the Transfer Portal; Cougars Closing the Gap on Texas Tech

Описание: BYU is stepping up in the transfer portal in a way we haven’t seen before, and it changes the Big 12 favorites conversation. In this live show, I break down how BYU’s retention wins (Bear Bachmeier, LJ Martin, Parker Kingston and more) paired with a top-tier portal haul has the Cougars legitimately closing the gap on Texas Tech.

We’ll dive into BYU’s headline additions like Cal linebacker Cade Uluave (one of the top portal LBs) and USC tight end Walker Lyons, plus the offensive line reinforcements that could be the real key if BYU wants to win at the line of scrimmage and actually chase down the Red Raiders. On3 has BYU’s transfer class ranked No. 14 nationally, and we’re talking about what that means for the Big 12 title race and the 2026 college football landscape.

Then we pivot to the rivalry soap opera: Kyle Whittingham finally “gets one back” on BYU in the portal as Michigan continues ripping key pieces out of Utah’s roster, including CB Smith Snowden. We’ll talk through why BYU losing that specific battle might not matter much, and why Utah could be the side taking the bigger long-term hit in year one under Morgan Scalley.
