On Thursday, Westlake High School standout Sale Fano committed to Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program. Fano, a three-star edge prospect according to 247S
ports, picked the Cougars over competing offers from Washington State, Hawaii, UNLV, New Mexico, and Utah Tech.
Grateful for all the coaches that gave me an opportunity to play football at the next level and for all the love that I’ve received in the recruiting process. With that being said…Fano picked up an offer from Kelly Poppinga back in March. After a few months, Fano shut down his recruitment and committed to BYU.
Fano has good size at 6'4 and he has room to add more weight. 247Sports currently lists him at 210 pounds. Depending on where his weight ends up once he is in a college weight program, he could either play defensive end or outside linebacker. At Westlake, Fano has flashed the ability to get after the quarterback, set the edge against the run, and drop back into coverage.
Fano is the teammate of fellow BYU target Nusi Taumoepeau. Taumoepeau, who also plays defensive end, is one of the top recruits in the state of Utah in the 2025 recruiting class. He has picked up offers from a long list of schools including BYU, Utah, Washington, Miami, Stanford, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, and Cal among others. The BYU defensive staff has prioritized Taumoepeau in this recruiting cycle.
Fano is the sixth member of BYU's 2025 recruiting class. He joins linebacker Tyler Payne, tight end Blake Bryce, running back Cale Breslin, defensive lineman Kelepi Vete, and kicker Will Walker.Casey Lundquist is the publisher and lead editor of Cougs Daily. He has covered BYU athletics for the last four years. During that time, he has published over 2,000 stories that have reached more than three million people.
