While strapping on his helmet and getting ready to leave, Mendenhall seemed bemused, if not annoyed, by the number of people snapping photos of him.

Former BYU football players Leon White, Casey Tiamalu and Todd Watkins also played for Helix.

Kaveinga, a USC transfer, recorded 42 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, two pass breakups, one interception and one fumble recovery this season.
