It is Official!!!Another Bad News Confirmed As Utah Highly-Rated Star Transfers to BYU

In a surprising move that is bound to intensify the rivalry, Utah’s top defensive lineman Keanu Tanuvasa has officially transferred to BYU. Tanuvasa, a vocal leader for the Utes at the start of the transfer window, had previously criticized Cam Calhoun’s switch to Alabama and reassured fans of his commitment as a “Utah Man.” However, in a sudden turn of events, the Mission Viejo, California native declared his entry into the transfer portal, eliciting strong backlash from fans. With the winter transfer portal now closed, many were left uncertain about Tanuvasa’s future, as he neither signed with another program nor announced his return to Salt Lake City.

Reports from Alex Markham of Utah Rivals revealed that the Cougars had made efforts to recruit three significant players from Utah: Smith Snowden, Lander Barton, and Tanuvasa. While they were unable to secure Barton or Snowden, whose father is a former BYU star, they successfully brought Tanuvasa on board. In the 2024 season, Tanuvasa recorded 16 total tackles, four passes defended, and one sack. Over his career with the Utes, he accumulated 49 total tackles, five passes defended, four sacks, and one interception. This transfer is a significant setback for Utah’s defense, especially with the portal closed, leaving no immediate options to fill the gap until spring. Nonetheless, Utah’s defensive coaching staff is renowned for their talent development, and they will likely find ways to address this loss before the upcoming season.
