BYU's 2013 class includes a stellar group of returned missionaries
Deseret News
Brown red-shirted a year before serving a mission to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Brown competed mostly at the fullback position and was noted as a valuable scout team member.
It’s not clear how much Anae will incorporate a fullback in his offense, but that’s the position Brown is best-suited for. Without an established starter at fullback Brown could compete for a regular role within the offense immediately.
Up next: Toloa’i Ho Ching, linebacker

Kaufusi and Kanuch will be anchors on the D line for several years to come.
Some are always leaving and some are always coming back. Recruiting and the revolving door.
Elder Black served his mission in our area, and he's an intense young man. If anyone is capable of getting back into playing shape after serving a mission, it's him. I expect to see him starting. He's going to be a huge asset for BYU this year.
These signees were before the "independent" thing. Therefore, six of the eight were rated three star at the time of signing. I would expect them to contribute once they regain playing condition (after two year absence.).Good news for cougar fans.
We know from years of experience that RM's at BYU are truly "over-achievers". Especially those who are married due to their focus on what is truly most important:family, education, and service to the Lord. It should come as no surprise that "star ranking" for recruits means little at BYU. These athletes have focus, work ethic, dedication, leadership etc. etc. The maturity they bring is always an added dimension few teams can enjoy. Often talent will not trump these qualities for the contribution they offer on any BYU team. So we can expect some very fine performances in the coming years as always from Cougar recruits who have served missions.
