The BYU football program will kickoff Spring Camp on Friday with the first of 15 spring practices. On BYU's spring roster, 33 newcomers are listed. Those newcomers recently selected their new jersey numbers for their first year at BYU.
Incoming tranfers Roger Saleapaga, Walker Lyons, Cade Uluave, and Kyle Kasper will don the single-digit uniforms. All four of Saleapaga, Lyons, Uluave, and Kasper are expected to play big roles for the Cougars in 2026. At tight end, Lyons and Saleapaga could end up being the two names at the top of the depth chart. Wide receiver Kyle Kasper will compete for a starting job after transferring in from Oregon. Cade Uluave, the top linebacker in the transfer portal, will start right away.
Other noteworthy transfers include Jayven Williams (15), Jake Clifton (31), Paki Finau (53), Zak Yamauchi (56), and Jr Sia (62). All three of Finau, Yamauchi, and Sia will compete for immediate playing time along the offensive line. Williams and Clifton are also expected to play right away as depth pieces, if not more.
Other numbers of notable true freshmen include Enoch Watson (17), Jaron Pula (21), Terrance Saryon (23), DeVaughn Eka (25), Kennan Pula (25), Braxton Lindsey (30), Nehemiah Kolone (41), Bott Multalo (52), and Legend Glasker (88).
