BYU added its second transfer portal commitment as Syracuse Forward Tyler Betsey is transferring to BYU. Travis Branham of 247 Sports first had the news.
Listed at 6-foot-8 and 225 pounds, Tyler is a floor stretcher that can play either the wing or at the stretch four. As a sophomore
this past season while averaging 18 minutes per game, Tyler averaged 6.8 points and 2.8 rebounds on 50-123 (41%) three-point shooting. Betsey is a three-point specialist — 73% of his attempts came from beyond the arc. Betsey shot 44% from three in ACC play, which was #4 in the conference.
Kevin Young wants to add more shooting, and Betsey is a great fit for that. He can play either the wing or can play a stretch four role for BYU. Betsey could contend for starting minutes, but he may also be one of the BYU’s top bench guys as they look to increase their depth from last season.
Tyler will be a junior this coming season and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
