BYU's roster is undergoing a significant shift as starting forward Kennard Davis has entered the NCAA transfer portal, becoming the fourth Cougar player to do so this offseason. The 6-foot-6 wing, who transferred to BYU from Southern Illinois, started all 32 games he played this past season.

Davis arrived in Provo with the potential to be a key "Three-and-D" contributor alongside stars like AJ Dybantsa and Richie Saunders. While he averaged 8.5 points per game and had impactful moments—including a late-season surge with 15+ point performances in crucial wins over Texas Tech and Iowa State—his shooting consistency proved to be a challenge. He finished the year shooting 39.5% from the field and 32% from three-point range, with that number dipping to 27% in competitive Big 12 conference play.

His departure marks a major reload for BYU's perimeter, as the Cougars must now replace all three starting wings from last season's squad. The focus turns to a promising incoming class, headlined by 5-star recruit Bruce Branch and 4-star Dean Rueckert, along with anticipated additions from the transfer portal itself as BYU looks to rebuild its wing rotation for the upcoming campaign.
