BYU linebacker Christian Folau breaks up a pass intended for Wisconsin's Alex Hornibrook during game at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017.

PROVO — Christian Folau is just entering his redshirt freshman season at BYU but has already undergone a series of changes since leading a fearsome East High School defense nearly four years ago.

LDS Church mission service, a post-mission transfer of programs and most recently a position change has underscored what the 6-foot-1, 237-pound prospect has gone through since signing a letter of intent to play for Oregon State in 2015.
