The exodus of stars from BYU will not include sophomore Robert Wright III, who will stay in Provo, ESPN reported on Wednesday.
Regarded as one of the top point guards in the transfer portal, Wright was a third-team All-Big 12 selection last season as BYU went 23-12 and lost to 11th-seed Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Wright led the team with 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and was second in scoring at 18.1 in starting all 35 games. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds and shot 46.7% from the field, including 41% on 3-pointers.
The Cougars are expected to lose All-American forward AJ Dybantsa, who led the nation as a freshman at 25.5 points per game and is projected as perhaps the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft. BYU guard Richie Saunders, an All-Big 12 second team pick this season and first team in 2025, sustained a season-ended torn ACL in mid-February to complete his fourth and final season for the Cougars.
Wright averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 35 games (21 starts) at Baylor in 2024-25, when he made the Big 12 All-Freshman team.
