Eye on the Y: Another UVU player says he is following new BYU men’s basketball coach Mark Pope to Provo

Another former Utah Valley University basketball player is headed across town to BYU, but this one will probably have to sit out a year before playing for the Cougars.

A day after Stadium.com reported that UVU grad transfer Jake Toolson — the 2018-19 Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year — was transferring back to BYU, the same website reported that the WAC’s Freshman of the Year is on his way to Provo, too.

Wyatt Lowell, a 6-foot-10, 205-pound power forward who averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game for the Wolverines upon returning from a church mission to Minnesota, will re-unite with new coach Mark Pope at BYU, national college basketball expert Jeff Goodman said.
