It didn’t take long for the Cougs to get their first commitment after the new year as they landed Southern Utah transfer Christy Nkanu on Sunday. He is the sixth offensive lineman for the 2023 class and will help out a group that is in need of a lot of help.
The 6’4”, 300-lb guard played three seasons for the Thunderbirds and appeared in 21 games at both guard positions. He saw some time at tackle but will likely be one of the two guards next year with the Cougs.
Originally from Santa Fe Springs, California, he put the Cougs in his top five on December 26th with Virginia, California, Troy, and BYU and announced Sunday his intentions of joining the Cougs as a graduate transfer.
