Ronald Swanson Walk-on

He really didn't flame out. He was second string as a redshirt freshman on a national championship team. He started a couple games before getting injured this year (as a redshirt soph) and played decently, and may well have started next year.

Andrew Gentry is in the transfer portal

He would be a great addition to the OL

JoeExotic

No he wouldn’t. He’s going to be a senior who’s seen heavy PT in exactly 1 game.

True, but if we’re his best landing spot a grudge can be buried quickly

If my dream school has a horrifically bad position coach, I'd do what he did. NOT go to Utah and go to a top brand P5

Curious if their assessment changed at all with TJ Woods coaching that position?

Their assessment could only have improved immensely. It remains to be seen if it

So that’s why he only played two games this year?

My understanding. Wasn't healthy until late in the year. Did play a little each

Stucoug83

Because we're losing Etienne and Keim and you can never have enough good OL!!

Maybe he goes to USU to team up with Bronco

Charles Darwin

Honestly a decent shot here. Family really likes Bronco.

Just another local player who flamed out at a blueblood program.

It's not crazy for BYU fans to prefer he come to BYU instead of Michigan

Of course not.

I wanted him to come to BYU, but he was at Michigan, and won a national champ
