Saleapaga played in 26 games for Oregon over two seasons, seeing time on both special teams and at tight end. Roger this season caught 3 passes for 25 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown catch versus Indiana in the college football playoff. His Oregon bio says his freshman season in 2024 that 158 of his 194 snaps played were on special teams, where he tallied two tackles and an onside kick recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Saleapaga is the second tight end transfer commitment along with USC\u2019s Walker Lyons. Saleapaga was a decorated receiving tight end at Orem HS, but was behind talented tight ends at Oregon. He\u2019ll get a chance to make an impact at BYU, and at a minimum should provide value with his blocking ability and give BYU versatility to run two tight end sets with Walker Lyons. Saleapaga will be a junior this coming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BYU added another tight end transfer as Oregon\u2019s Roger Saleapaga announced his commitment to BYU Saturday evening.
