PROVO — Khyiris Tonga ended his spring practice session much like he started, which could provide big dividends for the mammoth BYU defensive tackle and for the defense in general.
Since arriving at BYU for the 2017 season, the 6-foot-4, 330 pound defensive lineman has proven an extraordinary talent, capable of a lot of disruption playing at one of the two defensive tackle spots in BYU's 4-3 base defense. He's fought through some injury issues but has largely performed at a high level throughout the past two seasons.
For the 2019 season, however, Tonga wants to take his play to a new level.
