Today, Dave Rose announced that Corbin Kaufusi will play both football and basketball in 2016-17.
Corbin Kaufusi is 6-foot-10 and 225-pounds. Corbin famously first committed to BYU as a football player out of Timpview High School. He then grew several inches while on his mission and became a BYU basketball player upon his return.
Now, after solely focusing on basketball as a freshman and sophomore, Kaufusi's junior year will see his athletic attentions split between the court and the gridiron.

Devotees may remember that during the 2014 BYU basketball preseason Boomshakalaka event, Corbin performed in the dunk contest with a helmet and pads.
