Injuries have plagued Hagen in recent years, including a torn PCL last December which he played through, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.<\/p>\n

In two seasons with the Cougars, Hagen caught 15 passes for 126 yards, adding 93 more yards on nine carries with two touchdowns on the ground. <\/p>\n

He ran for a 57-yard score in BYU\u2019s 2025 opener against Portland State, and his 32-yard end zone trip at Colorado put the Cougars ahead for good in an eventual 24-21 victory.<\/p>\n

Hagen, who recently participated in spring practices with the Cougars and was entering his junior season of competition, will remain a student at BYU, according to KSL Sports.<\/p>\n

Given Hagen\u2019s departure, along with 2025\u2019s top receivers Parker Kingston and Chase Roberts moving on from the program, BYU will now lean on its remaining pass-catching corps of receivers Jojo Phillips, Tiger Bachmeier, Reggie Frischknecht, Kyler Kasper and Tei Nacua, as well as new tight ends Walker Lyons and Roger Saleapaga.<\/p>\n
