Aleksej Kostic, a freshman guard from BYU, has transferred to Northwestern, as announced on social media. He played in 27 games last season, averaging 4.4 points per game and shooting 36.7% from beyond the arc. Kostic made five starts when Richie Saunders was injured and scored in double digits against Big Twelve teams five times. This move makes him the third BYU player to find a new team through the transfer portal, following Dominique Diomande to Pitt and Xavion Staton to Oregon State. Four BYU players remain in the portal, while the Cougars have also reloaded with three incoming transfers for next season.

AJ Dybantsa, a six-foot-nine forward, has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft after an impressive freshman year at BYU. He led the nation in scoring, averaging 25.5 points per game on 51% shooting, and also contributed nearly seven rebounds and four assists per game. Dybantsas outstanding performance earned him All-America honors, first-team All-Big Twelve recognition, and Big Twelve Freshman of the Year award. Despite BYUs first-round NCAA Tournament loss, Dybantsas exceptional play has made him the clear frontrunner for the top pick in the draft. He is currently the betting favorite to go number one, ahead of Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer. The NBA Draft lottery is shaping up to be unpredictable, with several teams having a chance at the top pick, which could potentially be transformed by Dybantsas arrival.
