PROVO — For decades, the Kaufusi name has been entrenched on both sides of the BYU-Utah football rivalry.

In this year’s chapter, the Cougars have four Kaufusis — count ‘em — on their roster.

It features two sets of brothers: defensive linemen Corbin and Devin, sons of former BYU defensive lineman Steve Kaufusi; and linebackers Isaiah and Jackson, sons of former Utah defensive lineman Jeff Kaufusi.
