Why did Takitaki decide to choose BYU over the six other colleges that offered him a full ride scholarship? For him it's simple. He knows he needs to be at a place where the influences are those that are more conducive to his LDS faith.

"Yeah, a big part of me choosing BYU is because I know it's a place where I can focus on football and school," Takitaki said. "I won't have many distractions and can just focus on what important like getting right with the Lord and everything."

Now you do.
