Eye on the Y: Injuries, academic struggles threaten to weaken BYU’s depth at tight end

On Wednesday, tight ends coach Steve Clark told KOVO 960 AM that redshirt freshman tight end Hank Tuipulotu re-injured his surgically repaired knee (ACL) and will be out for an undetermined period of time.

The son of former BYU great Peter Tuipulotu was getting second-team reps in preseason training camp practices, behind All-America candidate Matt Bushman. He made a spectacular catch the first day of camp, seemingly having recovered from the ACL injury he suffered last season before the Washington game. But he apparently aggravated the injury at practice Tuesday.

Also, rising senior tight end Moroni Laulu-Pututau has yet to practice, but not because of a lingering knee injury.
