Ariel Ngata Honored to Have BYU Offer

The last name Ngata may look familiar to BYU fans and college football fans in general. Haloti Ngata played his prep football at Highland High School and college ball at Oregon. BYU has extended an offer to a football player of with the same last name in Ariel Ngata, but he has no relation to the big Tongan currently playing for the Detroit Lions.

Coming in at 6-4, 215-pounds, Folsom (CA) outside linebacker Ariel Ngata has received a scholarship offer from Brigham Young University making it his sixth offer so far. "BYU offered me [two] Sunday’s ago around noon I want to say,” said Ngata.
