Tayo Fabuluje is one of a number of recruiting coups in the 2010 BYU football signing class.

Fabuluje, who is not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, turned down scholarship offers from Nebraska, Notre Dame, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Arizona, Utah, and TCU among others, when he signed with the Cougars this past February.

“I was sold (on BYU),” says Tayo. “I was locked in on them. I did my homework on BYU and knew that it was the place for me. Even though I’m not LDS, I will fit in and get along very well.”

It also didn’t hurt that he grew up in Euless, Texas, as boyhood friends with future Cougars Ross Apo and Teu Kautai, also members if the BYU signing class of 2010.
