Looking ahead: Can BYU sustain its newfound football success in 2025?

BYU has to rebuild defensive line and replace some key offensive weapons, but many of the stars of 2024 return in 2025

Anything can happen, and usually does, in college football, so pronouncing any team’s roster for the upcoming season finalized and a done deal is almost always a fool’s errand.

Even predicting a depth chart some eight months before the season starts is a stretch in this day and age of the transfer portal and NIL enticements. Massive roster turnover has become the norm.

Another transfer portal window for college football opens on April 16 and closes on April 25, so for the BYU Cougars, who usually wrap up spring practices in late March or early April, there will be more departures once camp ends and players learn they aren’t part of the program’s future plans.
