BYU safety Faletau Satuala 'ready to go' vs. Utah Tech, says Kalani Sitake

After overcoming a fractured foot, the star safety returns to the BYU secondary.

BYU safety Faletau Satuala is set to return to action for the team's opener against Utah Tech, according to head coach Kalani Sitake. The sophomore was sidelined with a fractured foot in June, missing the start of fall camp, but has since returned to practice and is expected to be fully healthy going into the season. Satuala played a crucial role last year, leading the Cougars in tackles with 84, along with three interceptions, four pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.

His leadership abilities in the secondary and his individual talent make him a valuable asset for the defense. The Utah Tech game serves as an opportunity for Satuala to ease back into competition and regain full fitness before facing a tougher opponent in Week 2 against Arizona.
