BYU football: Folau says coaching change, post-mission campus visit played role in his decision to transfer to BYU

Ravell Call, Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — BYU wasn't even in the picture when Christian Folau signed his National Letter of Intent with Oregon State prior to his two-year LDS Church mission service. But some coaching changes within the program, among several other factors, put the Cougar program squarely in the East High product's sights upon his return.

Folau announced his intention to transfer to BYU on Monday, about a week after arriving home from his mission to San Jose, California. He did as much after taking a visit to meet with coaches and to tour the campus and the facilities.
