BYU football continues to receive announcements from players who plan to "lock in" or "run it back" with the Cougars for the 2026 season. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper shares his thoughts on the lack of a transfer portal commitment from BYU so far in the 2026 cycle. He also shares his thoughts on what it means that BYU is able to retain these players in a transactional era of college football. Mitch then previews the BYU-Arizona State basketball game. BYU looks for its 11th consecutive victory as it hosts the Sun Devils, who are on a three-game losing streak. BYU center Keba Keita is listed as "DOUBTFUL" entering the Big 12 Home Opener. Who could start at center if Keita doesn't play? Subscribe to the Cougar Tracks Podcast to stay up-to-date with all the daily episodes.
