Sophomore linebacker Sione Takitaki will be suspended for BYU’s opening game at Nebraska after being charged with two counts of Class B misdemeanor theft.

Police allege Takitaki stole property from the soccer and track teams in July while working a night shift at his job as a campus custodian.

According to court documents, Takitaki’s arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 27.

BYU football spokesman Brett Pyne said coach Bronco Mendenhall reviewed the situation and Takitaki will not play in the season opener against the Cornhuskers on Sept. 5.
