MISSIONSBrigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints� The missionary emphasis of the Church is perhaps one of its most recognized characteristics� Since the organization of the Church in 1830, over one million missionaries have served� The Church operates more than 400 missions around the world in over 150 nations speaking more than 160 languages� More than 53,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving proselytizing missions around the world� Most of the Church’s proselytizing missionaries are young men between the ages of 18 and 26� A substantial number of young women and older couples also serve proselytizing missions� Missionaries work long hours — seven days a week for two years (or 18 months for women and couples) — teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and participating in community service�
About 65 percent of the current team has served a mission� Members of the team have served in 28 different countries and six of the seven continents around the globe� More than 30 members of the team (previous signees or on roster) are currently serving in the mission field�
HONOR CODEBYU’s Honor Code helps maintain this learning environment� Initiated by students in 1949, the Honor Code emphasizes being honest, living a chaste and virtuous life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, using clean language, and following other values in line with the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints�
POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Polynesian Islands have become a hotbed for recruiting in recent years, but BYU has been one of the pioneers in bringing these players from Tonga, Samoa, the Hawaiian Islands and all of Polynesia to the forefront of college football since the early 1950s� About 40 members of the current roster are of Polynesian descent�
Some of BYU’s most celebrated and decorated players have come from the Pacific islands, including All-Americans, national record holders, players who have gone on to compete in the NFL and now, several members of BYU’s current coaching and support staff�
Kalani Sitake was named BYU’s 14th head coach on Dec� 19, 2015, becoming the first Tongan head football coach in the NCAA� His staff includes Polynesians Ilaisa Tuiaki, Fesi Sitake Harvey Unga, Nu’u Tafisi, Jack Damuni, Jasen Ah You and Vince Feula�
FORMER PLAYERS ON STAFFThere are 15 former BYU football players on the football and athletic administration staff� Members of the staff were part of Cougar teams that won the 1980 “Miracle Bowl,” the 1984 National Championship, 1996 Cotton Bowl along with many other accolades� Tom Holmoe DB 1978-82 Athletic DirectorKalani Sitake RB/FB 1994, 97-00 Head Football CoachChad Lewis TE 1993-96 Associate AD/DevelopmentLee Johnson P 1980-84 Assistant Development DirectorRobbie Bosco QB 1981-85 Varsity Club/DevelopmentFui Vakapuna RB 2002-03, 06-08 Assistant to the ADEd Lamb LB/DE 1994-96 Asst� Head Coach/Linebackers/Sp� TmsAaron Roderick WR 1996-98 Pass Game Coordinator/QuarterbacksJernaro Gilford DB 1999-03 CornerbacksPreston Hadley DB 2011-12 SafetiesHarvey Unga RB 2006-09 Running backsJack Damuni DB 1993-94 Community Relations CoordinatorVince Feula DL 2004-05 Football AnalystGavin Fowler DB 2011, 14-18 Graduate Assistant/Defense/STKyle Griffitts TE 2016-2020 Graduate Assistant/Defense INDEPENDENTS SNAPSHOT

A former Cougar running back (1994, 1997-2000), Sitake is the 14th head coach in BYU history and just the fourth since 1972, when Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards took over the program� Sitake is the first former player under Edwards to be named head coach at BYU�
Named BYU’s head coach on December 19, 2015, Sitake returned to his alma mater with 15 years of coaching experience, including seven seasons a defensive coordinator and four years as an assistant head coach� He came to BYU from Oregon State, where he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in 2015 under head coach Gary Andersen� Sitake spent the prior 10 seasons at the University of Utah under head coach Kyle Whittingham� He started at Utah in 2005 as the linebackers coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2009 before also being named assistant head coach in 2012� He coached 12 all-conference honorees at Utah, including Morris Trophy winners Star Lotulelei (2011) and Nate Orchard (2014)�
During his career, Sitake has helped mentor 28 NFL Draft picks, including No� 2 overall pick Zach Wilson in the 2021 NFL Draft by the New York Jets� Sitake also coached BYU linebackers Sione Takitaki and Fred Warner and running back Jamaal Williams� Takitaki was a third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in this year’s draft and Warner was one of the league’s top rookies after being taken in the third round in 2018 by the San Francisco 49ers�
Sitake has coached in 12 bowl games during his career and has been on the winning side in 10 of those 12 contests, including a 3-1 mark as a head coach� BYU is coming off a 49-23 win in the 2020 Boca Raton Bowl over UCF�
Sitake began his coaching career in 2001 as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Eastern Arizona before becoming a defensive graduate assistant at BYU in 2002 under Gary Crowton� Sitake then joined the staff at Southern Utah where he coached running backs, tight ends and offensive line during the 2003 and 2004 seasons�
He began his BYU playing career in 1994 prior to serving a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Oakland, California� After returning and redshirting in 1997, Sitake was a three-year starter at fullback for the Cougars from 1998-2000 under Edwards� A team captain as a senior, Sitake’s last game as a player was also the last game coached by the legendary Edwards, who was a great mentor for Sitake�
Born in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, and raised in Laie, Hawai’i and Provo, Utah, Sitake is the nation’s first FBS head football coach of Tongan descent� He graduated from BYU in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in English� Sitake and his wife Timberly have three children, Skye, Sadie and Kelaokalani (KK)�
