Tyler Mrus Transfers to BYU Basketball from Idaho

BYU basketball has secured a commitment from Idaho transfer Tyler Mrus, a 6-foot-7 sharpshooter who averaged 9.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season while shooting 38% from beyond the arc. Mrus, who has two years of eligibility remaining, is expected to provide a significant boost to the Cougars' three-point shooting off the bench and help fill the role left by departing shooter Trevin Knell. He is the fourth transfer to join BYU this offseason, alongside Robert Wright III, Kennard Davis Jr., and Dominique Diomande, as the team continues to build a strong roster for the upcoming season. Mrus notably scored 17 points and made four three-pointers against BYU last season, showcasing his shooting ability. While BYU has improved its perimeter offense with these additions, the staff is still seeking a reliable backup point guard. The roster moves have heightened expectations, with BYU projected as a potential preseason top 10 team.
