New BYU football coach Kalani Sitake has landed his first major recruit.
Handsome Tanielu, a Hawaiian who played last season for Snow College in Ephraim, announced via Twitter on Wednesday that he has committed to BYU.
A four-star (Scout.com) defensive tackle, Tanielu committed to Utah last June, but had re-opened his recruitment in the past few weeks.
Boise State and Oregon State, where Sitake was the defensive coordinator until last Saturday, were also among his favorites.
Tanielu, 6-2, 300, from Waianae, Hawaii, is one of several Snow College products receiving national recruiting attention.
