Also Emmanuel Esukpa might not be a closed door just yet.

Per Brandon Gurney: Rice graduate transfer Emmanuel Esukpa (5-11, 232), who is currently working to get enrolled in a BYU graduate program.

Last I heard was that he got turned down by a program. So maybe he is looking for another one.

And another name that has surfaced is Christian Grubb (class of 2019 out of Sherman Oaks, CA). Reportedly he has walk-on interest at Arizona State and offers to Army, Cal Poly, Drake, and Sacramento State. BYU and several other schools showed interest without offers, but now there is question about whether BYU has extended an offer due to other offers falling through.

Christian Grubb committed to ASU today so he is out of the picture.

Alphonzo Andrews has committed to Wyoming. We'll have to watch tomorrow for any surprises.

When asked today about the RB situation Sitake said that Fonua is expected to be ready to play this year after missing all of last year with a dislocated ankle injury he suffered in camp. So it sounds like there will be 4-5 guys trying to secure a spot next to Katoa on the depth chart this fall.

Ula Tolutau is on the depth chart at FB after Spring Ball. He is expected back for Fall.

He is not on the BYU Cougars roster. So it is not confirmed.
