Fun fact No. 1 - He's from the wonderful Tuipulotu family
The last name Tuipulotu is synonymous with BYU football. Petey's father, Peter, played fullback at BYU from 1987 to 1991. His brothers Hank and Ben also played football at BYU. According to his player profile at BYU's website, his mother, Mo Wolthuis, played basketball at BYU, so Petey pretty much bleeds BYU blue.
