Isaiah Nacua has withdrawn from the BYU football program for non-injury related reasons, head coach Bronco Mendenhall said at Wednesday’s annual on-campus Media Day. The sophomore-to-be defensive lineman is expected to enroll at Snow College, Mendenhall added.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive lineman came to BYU as a highly touted prospect who prepped at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas and Timpview High in Provo. He totaled 18.5 sacks as a senior at Timpview en route to the Thunderbirds’ 14-1 record and the Class 4A State Championship, a year after helping Bishop Gorman to a 15-1 record and its fourth straight Nevada state championship.
