BYU got some good news as starting offensive lineman Joe Tukuafu announced he would return to BYU for a sixth season in 2022. Tukuafu made the announcement on his Instagram. “See you in September, Cougar Nation!”
Tukuafu played in 12 of BYU’s 13 games this past season mainly at right guard, starting in nine of them. He missed the Baylor game due to injury. This was after a 2020 season where he started 4 of the 9 games he played in. Tukuafu has mainly played at right guard while at BYU, but has also started a handful of games at center after starting his career as a tight end.
