phughes+FollowBYU’s Evan Johnson stays put, bucks Michigan pullEvan Johnson just made a huge call for BYU football, choosing to stick with the Cougars instead of following Jay Hill and other Utah standouts to Michigan. With all the roster shakeups lately, keeping Johnson—a proven playmaker with five interceptions and a TD last season—feels like a win for Provo. The new defensive coordinator, Kelly Poppinga, seems to have played a big part in his decision. What do you think: Can BYU’s defense stay strong with Poppinga at the helm, or will Hill’s exit be felt more than we expect? #Sports #Football #BYUFootball00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowBYU’s Haunga shakes up transfer portal againPokaiaua Haunga, once BYU’s highly touted recruit and a local standout from Orem, is back in the transfer portal after a season at Snow College.

Now, with his proven skills and FBS experience, he’s a hot commodity for programs needing a versatile playmaker. This move leaves BYU fans wondering how the Cougars will fill the gap, but early signs show the 2026 recruiting class is holding strong. Where do you think Haunga lands next, and how will BYU adapt? #Sports #Football #BYUFootball00Share
