Sione Asi's football journey to Stillwater took him through Reno, Nevada, and Ephraim, Utah. But his most important stop came between and out of the country.
Asi, a defensive tackle who will sign with Oklahoma State later this week during the early signing period, didn't head straight to Snow College out of McQueen High School. Instead, after graduating in 2014, he embarked that December on a two-year Latter-day Saints mission to British Columbia, Canada.
“Everyone knows the reason we go out there is just to serve and to help people come closer to Jesus Christ, but other than that, man, it was just being around people out there,” Asi told The Oklahoman.
