BYU football players are mentoring students in BYU-Pathway Worldwide under the guidance of head coach Kalani Sitake.

Sitake said his goal is to get players connected with BYU students all over the world, helping them with both academics and building confidence for future job opportunities.

By serving students worldwide, Sitake said the players have felt more gratitude in their own lives and have felt less stress and anxiety. The players plan to continue mentoring students as the football season goes on.
