Houston Heimuli Brings Power-Back Depth and Transfer Experience to BYU
Houston Heimuli is a graduate-transfer fullback/running back add who gives BYU a physical, downhill option with built-in experience from Stanford and immediate roster flexibility. BYU announced him as one of its mid-year transfer additions in January 2022, which signals he was brought in for maturity and depth rather than raw upside alone. His value is in role fit: short-yardage toughness, backfield versatility, and a team-first profile that can help a program when it needs reliable physicality more than highlight-reel volume.
