Langi Tuifua developed into one of the nation's premier defensive ends during his time at Bingham High School, and he announced Saturday that he'll be continuing his football journey with the BYU Cougars.

“They have the greatest coaches down there," Tuifua said on picking BYU, per Mitch Harper of 1320 KFAN. "It feels like family when I go down there."

The 4-star recruit was primarily chased by BYU and Utah, so the Cougars have to be thrilled he spurned their in-state rival.

According to Scout.com's official rankings, Tuifua was the 263rd-ranked player overall in the class of 2017.
