Walker Lyons Could be Go-To Target for Bear Bachmeier
BYU tight end Walker Lyons, who transferred from USC ahead of the 2026 season, could emerge as one of quarterback Bear Bachmeier's top options in the passing game following the departure of his top three leading receivers from last season. Parker Kingston, Chase Roberts, and Carsen Ryan combined to catch 166 passes for 2,350 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Bachmeier threw for 3,033 yards and 15 touchdowns as a freshman, so the bulk of his receiving production is gone. Lyons played in 12 games for the Trojans last year, collecting 20 passes for 223 yards and two scores. For Bachmeier to take the next step as a passer, he'll need Lyons to take a step forward, giving him breakout potential for the Big-12-contending Cougars in 2026.
