When Aleva Hifo first jumped on the scene as freshman it was clear that he had the natural ability to make an impact. He handled a majority of the kick return duties and was able to find his way onto the field as receiver even though that position was crowded with upperclassmen. But while the talent was there, the inexperience was also apparent.
In his first two years there were plenty of moments where it looked like Aleva wasn’t quite on the same page as the rest of the BYU offense. If we’re being fair, the offensive unit under Ty Detmer never really looked in-sync, but Hifo stood out as someone who was just a few steps behind.
