BYU's 'Big Mo' is on campus — what impact can he make?

PROVO — BYU made a splash nationally on Signing Day in 2015 when it announced the signing of Motekiai "Mo" Langi.

There were two reasons for this — first, because Langi is 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 410 pounds. Second, because he's a native of Tonga and has never played a down of football in his life.

Langi was serving a mission in Arizona when he was signed by the previous coaching staff. Big Mo recently returned home and now he's on campus.

What are the coaches' expectations for the mammoth freshman, who is projected to play on the defensive line?
