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

You regularly see kids like him to go to "blue blood" programs and hardly play.

I'm glad he got to serve in a Bishopric and share the gospel, but you can serve the Lord in Provo too.

If Michigan was the best fit for him then I'm glad he went there, but it's not crazy for BYU fans to want top LDS talent to go to BYU.

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.

His family was bitter towards BYU, don't know if they still are

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

So apparently BYU is NOT your dream school.

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?

BYU '80

Dec 9, 12:36pm

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

Stucoug83

Dec 9, 12:38pm

he wasnt a starter. Did fill in/start injury 2 games but never 1 on depth chart

BlueKarma

Maybe he goes to USU to team up with Bronco

Dec 9, 7:30am

Honestly a decent shot here. Family really likes Bronco.

Dude could have been a 4 yr starter here and played a ton of snaps.

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

We need tackles. Ours are graduating. He could very well be a starter next year
