How Faith Saved BYU's Siosiua Finau During His Darkest Years | Faith Huddle

Why did BYU offensive lineman Siosiua "Siwa" Finau choose Provo over Stanford, UCLA, Utah and other major programs? In this powerful episode of Faith Huddle, Siwa opens up about growing up in Oakland, California, being recruited by top programs despite missing two years of high school football, his family's struggles, his sister's brain hemorrhage, and the role faith played in helping him overcome adversity. Finau shares why he believes BYU is a place that "creates men," how his relationship with his twin brother Leppy influenced his recruiting decision, and what he hopes to accomplish both on and off the football field. From Oakland to Provo, this is one of the most inspiring stories in BYU Football.
