PROVO — When BYU tight end Moroni Laulu-Pututau suffered a season-ending knee injury last September at Washington, a little more than a year after a Lisfranc foot injury that cost him the entire 2017 campaign, he knew he needed to reach out to a former Cougar for counsel and inspiration.
Laulu-Pututau texted Taysom Hill, who endured four season-ending injuries in five seasons at BYU. Hill has become a star playing multiple positions with the New Orleans Saints of the NFL.
“I got to play with Taysom and after every major injury, I’d text him and he was really good to get back to me.
