Alright, folks, here’s the lowdown straight from BYU land: our guy Koa Eldredge has decided to hit the reset button on his college career and enter the transfer portal. So, what’s up with Koa? Well, let’s break it down.
Hailing from the beautiful islands of Hawaii, Eldredge has spent the last two years with the BYU Cougars, making his mark mainly on special teams. He might not have been the star wideout catching Hail Marys every Saturday, but his contribution on special teams was solid—16 games in two seasons is nothing to sneeze at.
Now, if you’re thinking, “How’s this guy academically?” Eldredge is no slouch there either. The dude’s rocking a 3.8 GPA and even snagged a spot on the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. So, he’s got brains and brawn, packaged in a 6’0”, 190-pound frame.
Eldredge’s journey at BYU saw him juggling positions—a bit of safety here, a wide receiver there—but ultimately, BYU had him suited up as a wide receiver on their spring roster. Over two years, he clocked 163 snaps on special teams. That’s quite a hustle!

And Koa’s not alone in making a move. He’s the eighth BYU player taking the leap into the portal since it swung open just this Wednesday. Joining the exodus are Weston Jones, Nuuletau Sellesin, Carson Tujague, Justice Ena, Nathan Hoke, Nason Coleman, and Landon Rehkow. That’s like a whole squad on the move.
Now, what’s next for Eldredge? Well, that’s the million-dollar question. For now, his recruitment is officially back on. It’s like hitting refresh and waiting to see which programs might come knocking.
And in case you’re wondering who’s spilling this info, the deets come courtesy of Casey Lundquist, the BYU athletics sage with more than 2,000 stories under his belt. If it’s happening in Cougar town, you know Casey’s got the scoop.
Where will Koa land next? Hard to say, but chances are, this polite Hawaiian might soon be lighting up another college campus. Keep your eyes peeled, folks!
