Manase Tonga Reportedly Cleared to Play

Apparently Manase Tonga will be back blocking for Harvey Unga and JJ DiLuigi in no time. On Wednesday Hans Olsen somehow received the leaked news, and we're not waiting on Bronco to give the real word. I guess all that's pending is an ok from the powers-that-be at BYU... assuming there are no further traffic citations of course.

**Update** - Jason Franchuk of The Daily Herald reported: "...word is spreading that [Tonga] received the appropriate grades in two summer courses at UVU that would make him eligible to apply for re-admission to BYU."

If true...

This, at the very least, gives Unga and Max Hall an extra blocker (which will be needed). If he contributes anything else, it’s just gravy. (I like gravy.)
