BYU football got some big news Sunday night as Nevada safety Nephi Sewell announced that he will transfer to BYU. Sewell announced his decision via his social media accounts.
Oregon was considered a possible destination for Sewell so he could team up with his younger brother, Penei Sewell, but Nephi ultimately decided to come close to home. His family currently lives in Orem after moving from St. George.
Unless he gets a waiver from the NCAA, Nephi will have to sit out and redshirt the 2019 season; he will be a redshirt junior when he returns in 2019.
