PROVO — BYU receiver Aleva Hifo's talent and potential have always been there, although the consistency wasn't, through his first two years playing at the collegiate level. But through further dedication and focus, that consistency has improved this year, in establishing himself as the Cougars' most reliable playmaker on the outside.
Much like the case for the Cougars' offensive numbers in general, Hifo's don't jump off the page, given his 12 receptions through four games and 82 yards rushing, along with one notable touchdown, which came on a throw to Moroni Laulu-Pututau in the win over Wisconsin. But his impact has been felt, whether it be catching the football or as one of the primary options on a fly-sweep, a play that has largely defined the changes on offense under the new coaching staff.
