Provo • Another BYU football player will leave the school with one season of eligibility left as a graduate transfer.
Running back Riley Burt, who shined in the Cougars’ 49-18 win over Western Michigan in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl last month, said on social media Tuesday night that he is moving on.
“After much consideration, I have decided to grad transfer and play my last season elsewhere,” Burt noted on Twitter.
The redshirt junior who grew up in the tiny northern Utah town of Mantua and prepped at Brigham City’s Box Elder High School rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in the bowl game.
