I would like to give a big thanks to my parents for always being there for me and never giving up on me! Without them none of this would be possible! I love you mom and dad!🤍#GOCOUGS @T_BirdFootball @CoachAndyStokes @BYUfootball @kalanifsitake @coachtuiaki @BrandonHuffman 🔵⚪️🤘🏾 pic.twitter.com/GencddBehZ
