BYU's Dayan Ghanwoloku eager to enhance role as playmaker at the strong safety position

PROVO — In an effort to make BYU’s defense faster and more athletic, Cougar coaches have had several defensive players switch to new positions, including Dayan Ghanwoloku’s move from cornerback to strong safety.

It didn’t take Ghanwoloku long to embrace his new spot during spring practices.

“The first couple of reps at safety, I got a couple of picks,” Ghanwoloku said, smiling. “I got those two picks and it was good. It’s great. I love it. I’m put in the position to make more plays instead of being isolated on one side like I was at corner .
