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.
