Basketball portal entries who caught my attention + Interview with BYU DE Hunter Clegg

The offseason never sleeps on Cougar Tracks, and neither do we.

In this episode, KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper dives into BYU football's initial SP+ rating entering the 2026 season and what those early analytics might be telling us about expectations for the Cougars in the Big 12 and nationally.

Mitch also dives into basketball, where the women's basketball team advanced to the WBIT Semifinals after defeating Stanford.

He also shares his thoughts on some transfer portal prospects who have caught his attention.

Then, finally, he caught up with BYU football sophomore EDGE rusher Hunter Clegg.
