Tuiloma is LDS and plans to serve a mission before enrolling at BYU.

The Cougars' other commitments consist of Alta High offensive tackle Jordan Black, Timpview defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, Pleasant Grove linebacker Joey Owens, Skyline running back Algernon Brown and offensive tackle Gifford Timothy from Middletown, Del.
