Lehi standout Penisimani (PJ) Takitaki has committed to the BYU football program, joining under head coach Kalani Sitake. As a defensive end in the class of 2026, he is the nephew of former BYU player Sione Takitaki, who currently plays for the New England Patriots.
PJ chose BYU over an offer from Cal and is rated a high three-star recruit. His impressive performance at Lehi High School included six sacks in a single playoff game, showcasing his potential as an edge rusher.
BYU's 2026 recruiting class is shaping up well, with another recent commitment from three-star cornerback Justice Brathwaite, hinting at a promising future for the Cougars.
