So it sounds like the short answer is neither guy is on the team. End of story. Too bad really....

Sitake addressed these two guys today:

Jay Drew @drewjay

I specifically asked Sitake if he will release Bernard to any school in the country, and he said yes, he already has.

BYU coach Kalani Sitake said LB Francis Bernard was granted his release -- to any school -- a few weeks ago. Bernard got DUI Saturday.

Sitake said that Marvin Hifo dropped out of school and quit the team a few weeks ago after he suffered an injury. Hifo was in car w/Bernard.

That said, Sitake mentioned that after he released Bernard, he was still recruiting him to return to BYU. That was before the DUI, obviously

Drunk driving is a terrible thing, people get killed by drunk drivers every day. Bernard needs to get help and I pray he can turn this life around. Football no longer matters.

And not as if we need any proof, but the 25 year old who hit Harvey Langi and his wife seriously injuring them last week has been charged with a DUI and open container.

I got thinking about this because FB is not a current BYU student as he did not enroll in Fall 2017. So the problem becomes that he needs to resolve his legal issue (drunk driving arrest) before even being considered. And if he was already facing discipline that caused him to redshirt and not enroll that also aggravates his honor code standing for re-admittance. It wouldn't surprise me to see him miss out on 2018 with legal issues, then land somewhere like Utah for his final season of eligibility.

Marvin Hifo on the other hand is on the team and in his senior year of eligibility. I would expect that this means he doesn't play the rest of the year if he isn't dismissed from the team or school (don't know how deep the issues here are).

In the end, this really only impacts plans to have FB back on the team next year. So his absence opens up another scholarship for use elsewhere.

Any chance he becomes too big a mess for even the Utes?

No. Look at the OR WR they happily took in.
