This guy isn't just an offensive lineman, he's the entire line. Here's his video highlights (the arrow points him out), unfortunately you can't see much since he is so large he totally blocked out the sun.

397-pound BYU defensive lineman Motekiai Langi got stuck in a gymnastics foam pit

"I was like, seriously, how do you get someone like that out of the foam pit?"

Pits of foam blocks are a useful way for gymnasts to practice landings, but they can be difficult to get out of. That’s perhaps especially true if you’re a 6’7”, 397-pound football player, as BYU defensive lineman Motekiai Langi found out recently. This happened last monthwhen Langi and other members of the BYU football team were invited to BYU’s gymnastics practice, part of the gym team’s ongoing efforts to bring other sports teams in and have them heckle the athletes to help them prepare for competitions, and SB Nation’s Jason Kirk brought it to a wider audience Monday.

It led to some great quotes from BYU gymnastics coach Guard Young, senior gymnast Jill van Mierlo and Langi himself to Jared Lloyd of the (Provo-based) Daily Herald:

““We all thought it was pretty funny until we realized we couldn’t get him out,” Young said. “Then I was like, seriously, how do you get someone like that out of the foam pit? We got him out, but it took some effort and some football players to help. Thankfully I didn’t get a phone call from (head football coach Kalani Sitake) about it. We kept him safe.”

Fortunately, some of those other football players were able to haul Langi out. But there were some ongoing consequences; his socks came off in the pit, and were not found. So BYU’s gym team now has their foam pit contaminated by dirty socks from an almost 400-pound football player. He did apologize for that, though, saying “I feel bad for those gymnasts. They’ll find them and be like, ‘Whose socks are these?'”
