ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ junior tight end Keyan Burnett is entering the transfer portal, he announced on his social media accounts Saturday afternoon.Â
Burnett will enter the transfer portal after three seasons at ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. Burnett entered the portal in January after the UA hired head coach Brent Brennan, but withdrew his name.Â
Burnett signed with ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ as a four-star prospect in 2022 out of Servite High School in Anaheim, California. The 6-6, 248-pound Burnett was one of four Servite players to sign with ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in '22, along with wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, quarterback Noah Fifita and linebacker Jacob Manu.
Burnett is the son of former ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ linebacker and "Desert Swarm" member Chester Burnett, who was a Second-Team All-Pac-10 selection in 1996.Â

ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ tight end Keyan Burnett (88) looks up field for room to run after making a catch over the middle against Texas Tech in the third quarter.
The younger Burnett played his first two seasons behind Tanner McLachlan, who was ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s most productive tight end since Rob Gronkowski. After McLachlan went on to play in the NFL, Burnett had a productive spring and fall training camp and appeared due for a breakout junior season, but injuries hindered Burnett throughout the season.Â

Burnett joins offensive lineman Wendell Moe, quarterback Brayden Dorman, tight end Dorian Thomas, running back Rayshon Luke, wide receiver AJ Jones and running back Brandon Johnson as players entering the transfer portal.Â
The transfer portal officially opens on Monday.Â
