A pair of former BYU players signed with the Salt Lake City franchise in the Alliance of American Football, which is set to kick off its inaugural season in February 2019.

Former Cougar offensive guard Tuni Kanuch and defensive tackle Handsome Tanielu were part of 105 player signings the league announced Friday. The Salt Lake City AAF team will play at Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium and be coached by Dennis Erickson.

Kanuch, who prepped at Bingham High, started 29 of his 50 career games at BYU, wrapping up his college career last season. He started every game at right guard for the Cougars in 2017.

Tanielu joined the BYU program in 2016 as a JC transfer from Snow College. In two years, he had 41 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery, a quarterback hurry and a pass breakup for the Cougars from his defensive tackle position.
