BYU junior DT Khyiris Tonga said that he is approaching the fall campaign with an eye toward a possible NFL Draft declaration this winter.
Nothing set in stone, here, but Tonga is viewing the upcoming season as potentially his final opportunity to put out quality tape for evaluators. He has been focusing on cutting weight this offseason and told reporters during the program media day on Tuesday that he had shed 20 pounds to drop down to 324 pounds. The 6-foot-4 junior would like to get down to 319 pounds before the start of August camp. This past season, Tonga logged 30 tackles (4.5 for loss) and two sacks.
