PROVO — Some football players seem to adjust almost immediately upon returning from two-year mission service for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, while others never fully adjust at all. Then there's BYU linebacker Isaiah Kaufusi, who like several others, took a while to adjust to the rigors of playing football again, but appears to be in fine form since returning home in May 2016.
The sophomore linebacker is coming off his first collegiate start during a 49-23 win over Hawaii and acquitted himself quite nicely, starting at the flash linebacker spot that was vacated by Zayne Anderson's season-ending injury.
