BYU tight end Joe Tukuafu lines up for a play during the Cougars' spring practice at the Indoor Practice Facility on Thursday, March 15, 2018 in Provo.
PROVO — After a long layoff from football, BYU tight end Joe Tukuafu only wants to look ahead — and make a big impact on the Cougar offense.
His story is fairly well-known.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound redshirt freshman signed a National Letter of Intent with Utah State out of East High School in 2014. Then he served a mission to Argentina and, upon returning from his mission, decided to enroll at BYU.
