Let's move Bernard Afutiti to ILB - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Why not move Bernard Afutiti to ILB? He has the size @ 6'0 260 (he could be a wrecking ball against the run at that size).

What's the status of Jadon Wagner? Will he be healthy for the fall?

C'mon. Afutiti can't pass cover.

But how do we know that? Has he any decent speed?

Because he's played DL his entire life and has no experience doing it. Afutiti is about option 30 for who we can stick in there. Put Jordan Pendleton in there before Afutiti.

Grant Nelson? What about Wagner? Damn, I'm going to be playing the what if game in my mind all off-season with the Hooks situation.

I hope this is a joke. Why not throw Jorgensen or Dulan in the middle they are both 6'3 255. This is why you are a fan posting on a message board and Bronco Mendenhall is the head coach of a football team. Afutiti is not fast, he cant pass cover as Indy has said and BYU has stated several times that they are going away from the overweight middle linebackers (Aaron Wagner types) Doman and Bauman are listed at 224 and 226. Also primary backups Van Sweden and Ah You are both 221.

Yes a linebacker/D-end prospect but he ate his way out that position, here is a quote from his senior season in highschool.

'"The 6 foot 1, 225 pound Afutiti says he loves the weight room"

If he was still that size he might fit in at MLB. But he is not.

Looks like he was a DT/FB in HS: HS

There are some mentions of him as an 'LB', but from reading it looks like he's pretty much played DL his whole career...
