Welcome Back… BYU Football Profile: Moroni Laulu-Pututau (Class of 2013)

laulu-pututau_moroni_por2 Faimafili “Moroni” or “Mo” Laulu-Pututau is a 6’4” 190 pound tight end for the BYU football team (Class of 2013). He graduated from Mountain Crest High School early so that he could serve an LDS mission (Chile, Antofagasta) and return in time to participate in spring camp (2015). He is projected as the #4 tight end for the Cougars this fall and may see some time at slot receiver as well.
