Few athletes have influenced BYU football and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as much as Gifford Nielsen.

I love learning more about my favorite BYU alumni. My favorite episode is the one with Jordan Tiffany because of the honest discussion on mental health. Such a real conversation. And as always, go Cougs!
