Football: Timpview's Kaufusi, a BYU commit, is out for year with torn ACL
The senior whom most recruiting services call the best football player in Utah this year, Timpview defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, has played his last down of high school football.
Kaufusi, tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in Timpview's 34-28 win over Highland High of Pocatello, Idaho, on Friday night, said his father, BYU defensive line coach Steve Kaufusi.
Bronson Kaufusi, who has committed to play football for BYU, will also miss the basketball season. He has been a two-year starting power forward for the T-Birds.
Steve Kaufusi said his son was flown home after the game at Holt Arena, and an MRI Saturday morning revealed the damage.
"He's pretty down about it," Steve Kaufusi said. "Nobody wants to miss their entire senior year."
Bronson Kaufusi turns 19 next July and plans on going on an LDS Church mission before enrolling at BYU.

The knee is never the same, I don't care what anybody tells you....
Many, many, many who have had ACL surgeries are playing D-1 and in the NFL as well. Your statement was correct...in 1980 perhaps.
Best of luck Bronson! You are an absolute animal on the football field!
