BYU guard Robert Wright III (1) takes the ball up court during the first half of the game against the West Virginia Mountaineers in the second round of the 2026 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

Overview

  • Jeff Goodman reported Wednesday that BYU guard Rob Wright plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
  • Wright started all 35 games this season and averaged 18.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists while shooting 46.7% from the field and 41% from three.
  • BYU finished 23–12 and lost to Texas in the NCAA Tournament’s first round after injuries reshaped the rotation during Big 12 play.
  • If Wright leaves, it would be his third team in three seasons, reflecting how common year-to-year moves have become in men’s college basketball.
  • Freshman AJ Dybantsa is widely projected as a 2026 NBA Draft pick, yet he has said he “might not leave” BYU, leaving the program’s core unsettled.
