Former Michigan Offensive Tackle Andrew Gentry Transfers to BYU: A Big Move for the Cougars
In an exciting development for BYU football, former Michigan offensive tackle Andrew Gentry has officially committed to joining the Cougars’ football program. Gentry, a 6’7″, 320-pound powerhouse, has the potential to make an immediate impact on the offensive line for BYU, bolstering an already promising team for the 2024 season.
Gentry, a former four-star recruit from Colorado, initially made headlines in 2021 when he chose Michigan over numerous other offers, including programs like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Stanford. He was regarded as one of the top offensive line prospects in his class, known for his size, strength, and quick footwork. However, despite his impressive physical attributes, Gentry struggled to find significant playing time during his tenure at Michigan, primarily due to depth and competition on the Wolverines’ stacked offensive line.
After spending two years at Michigan, Gentry decided to enter the transfer portal, seeking a fresh opportunity to showcase his skills. BYU quickly emerged as a strong contender for his services, and after a period of consideration, Gentry officially made the decision to transfer to Provo.
For BYU, this is a significant acquisition. The Cougars have been building a strong, competitive program under head coach Kalani Sitake, and Gentry’s addition to the offensive line is expected to elevate the team’s already solid offensive unit. The Cougars’ offensive line has been a key factor in their recent successes, and Gentry’s size, experience, and potential will only add to their already impressive foundation.
With Gentry’s vast potential, BYU fans can look forward to seeing a player who could make an immediate impact, particularly in the run game and in pass protection. Gentry will have the opportunity to play a central role in the Cougars’ offense and could be a cornerstone player for the team as they navigate their future in both the Big 12 and national college football landscape.
This transfer is just the latest in a series of moves that highlight BYU’s growing reputation for recruiting talented players from top programs. As the Cougars continue to strengthen their roster, Andrew Gentry’s decision to join the team serves as another sign of the program’s bright future ahead.
