BYU has a trio of RBs anchored with LJ Martin, with the talented Moa to spell him, Pokaiaua Haunga will be used in very creative ways. Haunga is dangerous in space, so he will be used as a running back and a receiving threat out of the backfield. Haunga was a star wide receiver in high school, so his receiving background will come into play in 2025.
