Harrison Taggart is a Linebacker at 6’1 210lbs from Oregon University. Taggart played one season for the Ducks appearing in three games while using his red shirt season. This leaves him with four seasons to play at BYU. Taggart will be a big asset to the Cougar defense. He was never recruited by BYU during his time in high school. Taggart will join the Cougars this summer and prep with them ahead of the 2023-2024 season.
Since the change in the Defensive coaching staff BYU has brought in 20 transfers including 10 on the defensive side of the ball. This Cougar defense is shaping up nicely and also looking more prepared for the Big 12 every day. Those transfers add size and experience to the Cougars. It will also give the offense more chances to be on the field and put points on the board.
