Jack Kelly - Linebacker

In December, Weber State linebacker transfer Jack Kelly committed to BYU. Kelly, who has two years of eligibility remaining, was recruited by a variety of P4 schools after he entered the transfer portal. Kelly was on campus this weekend for an official visit and he committed on the visit.

As a sophomore at Weber State last season, Kelly led the Wildcats with 8.5 sacks. He was tied for second for the most sacks in the Big Sky conference. He also had 57 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 5 pass break-ups, and 1 interceptions. He was named to the All-Conference Big Sky first team after the season.

Marque Collins - Cornerback

In December, Weber State cornerback transfer Marque Collins committed to BYU. Collins, who has one year of eligibility remaining, played in more than 40 games at Weber State.

At Weber State, Collins had five career interceptions. Going into the 2023 season, Collins ranked seventh in Weber State history in career pass breakups with 18. He has played more than 1,600 career snaps according to Pro Football Focus.

Collins was not announced during the early signing window.

Treyson Bourguet - Quarterback

Earlier this month, Western Michigan quarterback transfer Treyson Bourguet committed to BYU. Bourguet, who has three years of eligibility remaining, started eight games for Western Michigan over the last two seasons.

As a true freshman in 2022, Bourguet started four games in the back half of the season. In four starts, he threw for 601 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also ran for 154 yards and a score. Since he only played in four games, Bourguet preserved his redshirt.

As a redshirt freshman in 2023, Bourguet started four games and appeared in two more games. He threw for 713 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 1 interception. His best game came against Ball State where he threw for 328 yards, 3 touchdowns an no interceptions in a 42-24 win.

After a long search in the transfer portal, BYU found a veteran quarterback. Former Baylor and USF quarterback Gerry Bohanon committed to BYU for his final season of eligibility. Bohanon, who will be a seventh-year senior in 2024, has thrown for over 3,400 yards and and 26 touchdowns during his career. He has also run for over 1,000 yards in his career. Most notably, he has experience in BYU's offense. He ran the same offense as the starting quarterback for Baylor in 2021 under Jeff Grimes. 2021 was his best season as a college football quarterback.

Bohanon faced BYU twice during the course of his college career. He was the starting quarterback for Baylor in 2021 when the Bears beat BYU on their way to a Big 12 championship. That season, Baylor beat BYU 38-24 in Waco. Bohanon had 231 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.
