Various Cougars Excel At BYU Pro Day



PROVO, Utah-Friday, ten former BYU football players showcased their skills before the gaze of NFL, CFL and AAF personnel at the Cougars’ annual Pro Day.

Those who participated included defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi, linebacker Sione Takitaki, defensive end Michael Shelton, quarterback Tanner Mangum, running back Squally Canada, running back Matt Hadley, fullback Brayden El-Bakri and receiver Dylan Collie. Additionally, specialists Andrew Mikkelsen and Rhett Almond also participated.

The team’s best times in the 40 came from Collie and Canada, who each ran a 4.59 40-yard dash.

Shelton posted the best vertical leap on the squad with a jump of 36.5. Collie had the best broad jump of 9 feet 11 inches.

Takitaki, perhaps BYU’s strongest pro prospect, only participated in positional drills with scouts as he had already done the majority of his work during the NFL Combine.
