Tei Nacua, WR, Timpview HS (Provo, Utah)
The youngest in a line of Nacua brothers, Tei Nacua followed the path of older brother Kai to BYU — and a less circuitous one than older brothers Samson and Puka, as well.
Whereas the latter two had stops at Utah and Washington, respectively, Tei Nacua signed with the Cougars during the early signing period of 2024. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound receiver was the No. 20-rated recruit in the state by 247Sports as a senior, when he caught 61 passes for 930 yards and nine touchdowns en route to 5A first-team all-state honors by the Deseret News.
Nacua, who was recruited primarily by BYU receivers coach Fesi Sitake, chose the Cougars over in-state rivals Utah and Utah State, Hawaii and San Diego State, among others.
He finished his three-year varsity career with 1,794 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns for the Thunderbirds.
