Handsome Tanielu, a highly-touted defensive end out of Waianae High School in Waianae, Hawaii and more recently Snow College, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for BYU. Tanielu becomes the first official signee of the BYU 2016 recruiting class and for new BYU head coach, Kalani Sitake.
Grateful to the Lord for the many opportunities. But my heart leads me to sign with BYU. #BYU #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/0M6ijT8GZi

According to 247 Sports, the four-star defensive tackle was a hard commit to the Utes while still holding offers from a slew of other schools.
