Listen Later

In this episode of Legends of '84, we delve into the powerful journeys of Louis Wong and Leon White, two pivotal players on BYU’s historic championship team. For Louis Wong, football was more than just a sport—it was a path to transformation. Growing up in Hawaii without a father and in a household of nine siblings, life was anything but easy. But when BYU took a chance on him, it set him on a journey that would change not only his career but also his faith, his future, and his family for generations to come. For Leon White, football became a mission to fulfill his father’s final wish. With his dad battling a terminal illness, Leon vowed to help BYU reach the Holiday Bowl so his father could witness it one last time. The emotional and extraordinary way that promise was kept is a story for the ages. This episode is about faith, sacrifice, and playing for something bigger than yourself. Don’t miss the unforgettable stories of two champions who proved that true victory is measured far beyond the scoreboard.
