\n

Utah’s All-American defensive end John Henry Daley announced plans on Tuesday to enter the transfer portal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Daley was tied for the Big 12 in tackles for loss (17.5) and ranked fifth in the nation in sacks (11.5) in 11 games in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The All-Big 12 first-team selection and Bednarik Award semifinalist’s season ended with a lower-body injury on Nov. 22. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Daley said his injury rehab gave him “time to pray and reflect on my future.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“I will be entering the transfer portal fully healthy by the spring of 2026,” he posted Tuesday on X.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The 6-foot-4, 255-pound redshirt sophomore from Alpine, Utah who spent his first season at BYU in 2023, has two years of eligibility remaining. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

One potential landing spot for Daley is Michigan, which hired longtime Utes coach Kyle Whittingham last week. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The NCAA transfer portal opens Friday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
