Unga’s father said his son notified his coaches of the decision Tuesday morning.

"He believes he should return, get his degree, put all he can into his senior season in extending his record and helping the football team achieve its goals. He loves BYU and his coaching staff and believes it is in his best interest to take this path at this time in his career," Unga’s father told the Deseret News.

This conflicts with a report from the Salt Lake Tribune, in which Unga said he hasn’t yet made up his mind.

"I talked to my pops but haven’t told him for sure. Just thinking a lot about stayin and gettin school stuff done," Unga told the Tribune via text message. "But I gotta talk to coach Mendenhall about some stuff b4 I declare for sure!!"

Despite the conflicting reports, Unga has yet to make an official announcement regarding his plans for next year.
