In 2009, a player at Bingham High School won the Mr. Football award for the state of Utah. This is not very surprising considering the strength of Bingham’s program, but what was surprising was that it went to an offensive lineman, Tuni Kanuch.
He played both ways in high school, and wore down opponents with dominating physicality as each game wore on. BYU envisioned him as a defensive tackle eating up blocks and disrupting the opponents running game, but was switched back to the offensive line and now plays right guard. Offensive line is the opposite of every other position group in football, the more they are talked about during the game, the worse they are playing, and they do not talk about #78 very often during games.
