WEST JORDAN — When a recruit signs with a college program, it's often a bigger day for the parents of said recruit, rather than the recruit himself.
A humble and immensely grateful Sam Tofa stood behind his son, Alden Tofa, as he formally announced for, and then signed a National Letter of Intent to play for BYU on Wednesday morning.
After all the cheers and photos were snapped, Sam spoke softly, yet resolutely about what the day meant for the Tofa family.
"This will be the biggest day for our family," Sam said. "We're so grateful for our Heavenly Father and for the blessings he's given us and for Alden — he's worked so hard to get to this point.
