It turns out Riley Burt went out with a bang for his BYU football career.
Burt, a junior, announced late Tuesday on Twitter that he will be leaving BYU after graduating with a degree.
Burt rushed 13 times for 110 yards and a touchdown in BYU’s 49-18 win over Western Michigan in the Idaho Potato Bowl.
For his career, he rushed 96 times for 513 yards and three touchdowns.
Burt, a 6-foot-1 back, came to BYU from Box Elder High School in Northern Utah. In some of his first action in 2015, he ripped a 41-yard run against Cincinnati but hurt his hamstring.
