Lliasa Tuiaki announces that Sione Takitaki will return in 2017 for BYU Football

On Monday, defensive coordinator Lliasa Tuiaki announced that Sione Takitaki will join the team next year. Sione played well last year as a hybrid defensive end/linebacker but was held out this year.

Tuiaki referred to Takitaki as his “"scariest pass rusher” and recognizes the importance of depth for his defense.

BYU DC Ilaisa Tuiaki just said on radio show that DE Sione Takitaki is expected to be back next season. Huge addition to the BYU defense.

Sione has had several off the field incidences during his career thus far at BYU and seeing that he has officially righted the ship is great news.
