On Thursday, BYU Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dave Rose announced that Payton Dastrup will transfer from BYU. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
Dastrup played as both a freshman and sophomore for the Cougars, averaging 8 minutes per game during his second season in 2017-18. During the last season, he averaged 3.3 points and 1.8 rebounds, shooting 52% from the field and 43% from three-point range.
More than anything else, Dastrup has been a fan favorite among the Cougars. He’s become famous for his creative celebrations from the bench, and his ability to pump up both the team and the crowd.
