Houston Baptist DT Kyler Baugh to transfer to Minnesota

Houston Baptist defensive tackle Kyler Baugh announced Friday morning that he plans to transfer to Minnesota, with three years to use his final two years of eligibility.

In two seasons at Houston Baptist, Baugh racked up 104 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and five sacks in 26 career games. Less than a week removed from entering the transfer portal, he chose Minnesota over offers from Utah State, Western Kentucky, and SMU.

Baugh will look to bolster the Gophers’ depth on the interior defensive line this fall, along with Clemson transfer Darnell Jefferies.
