The BYU Cougars football program is getting another reinforcement at tight end, and this one will be a homecoming.
On Friday evening, Oregon transfer and former Orem High star Roger Saleapaga announced his commitment to the Cougars on social media.
Listed by Oregon at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Saleapaga played sparingly for the Ducks for two seasons. On Monday, multiple outlets reported that he would be entering the transfer portal, and BYU seemed like a logical fit.
A member of the Class of 2024 out of Orem, Saleapaga was a 3-star prospect. Now he’ll join a rather thin tight end room with the Cougars that is losing 2025 mainstay Carsen Ryan to graduation but has gained USC transfer Walker Lyons this offseason.
Saleapaga is the brother of former BYU offensive lineman Keanu Saleapaga.
