BYU football: Six sophomores who will have a big impact this season

Dayan Ghanwoloku, DB

Let’s just take a second to appreciate this. The first five players on this list are skill position players. That’s impressive stuff, especially for BYU. We often say that the Cougars struggle to get top-notch athletes, and that’s true. But the youngsters in Provo have BYU in a great spot.

Leading the charge is the Artist Formerly Known As Dayan Lake.

Ghanwoloku, in my opinion, was BYU’s best cover corner last season. He bodied receivers, was great in the press, and was a solid tacker.

People forget that he was getting serious attention from Alabama, Florida State and Oregon before he recommitted to BYU football.

Last season he posted 48 total tackles, three interceptions, four pass break ups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
