When BYU defensive end Logan Lutui announced Feb. 1 that he was returning to Provo for a final season of eligibility in 2025, despite going through senior sendoff ceremonies last November, the declaration did not cause much of a stir.

After all, Lutui started in only four games last year, and had just seven tackles and a sack in 336 plays from scrimmage. The Weber State transfer was solid throughout his career at BYU after sustaining a season-ending injury early in 2022, but not spectacular by any stretch.

However, through three games this season, Lutui has not only held off a group of young and talented edge rushers for his starting position, he has emerged as a vital part of Jay Hill’s defense. Lutui, 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds, leads No. 25 BYU (3-0) in tackles, with 15.
