PROVO — A year ago, BYU cornerback Dayan Lake announced that he was changing his last name to Ghanwoloku to honor a beloved uncle who’d passed away.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound junior is undergoing another change this spring. Ghanwoloku is moving from cornerback to safety as part of a defensive overhaul, which will also include junior Troy Warner moving to safety, Zayne Anderson filling in for Fred Warner at the flash linebacker spot, Austin Lee getting a run at free safety and senior Sione Takitaki shifting to the defensive line among other wrinkles.
