  Draft Scout by Conference









  Senior Khyiris Tonga will look to lead the charge this year after almost leaving the program early to enter the NFL Draft. Tonga, who was named to the 2020 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, which is awarded to the nation's most outstanding defensive player, has played 39 career games with 21 starts. In 2019, he made 45 total tackles and 4.0 tackles for loss. Tonga is also on the 2020 Outland Trophy Watch List. Defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki said, the moment Tonga decided to come back to Provo, the defensive lineman started working his butt off. That was in January, leading up to spring ball.

"He looked like a different guy," Tuiaki said. "For me, I was really excited that he made the decision to come back because now he looks like what an NFL D-tackle should look like and he is playing with a lot more confidence in the way he is aligning and playing off things. When he was playing in practice, he was really disruptive, and that is what you want to see from someone of that caliber." Tonga will be a key cog. But because the defense rotates constantly, depth will be key to having a successful line. That could be provided in part by 6-3, 287-pound redshirt senior Bracken El-Bakri and 6-5, 260-pound freshman Tyler Batty. - Salt Lake Tribune
