PROVO — It's hardly fair, but it's the harsh reality of playing football.
BYU tight end Moroni Laulu-Pututau confirmed on Sunday night via Twitter that he had indeed sustained a season-ending ACL injury during the early stages of BYU's 35-7 loss to Washington last Saturday.
"It hurts so much more emotionally and mentally than it does physically," Laulu-Pututau wrote. "But I won't be returning till the 2019 season."
Laulu-Pututau led BYU in receptions prior to Saturday's loss and did as much returning this year from a Lisfranc injury that precluded him playing the entirety of the 2017 season.
