Four-Star OL Alai Kalaniuvalu Signs With BYU After Oregon Commitment Flip

Four-star offensive lineman Alai Kalaniuvalu's recruitment saga concluded with him signing to play at BYU after multiple flips between BYU and Oregon. Originally committed to Oregon in mid-2024, Kalaniuvalu flipped to BYU later that year before reversing again to sign with Oregon during the early signing period. However, months later, he received a release from his National Letter of Intent with Oregon and ultimately signed with BYU, becoming their highest-rated recruit in the 2025 class. Kalaniuvalu, a 6-foot-4, 311-pound interior offensive lineman from Bishop Gorman High School, has strong ties to BYU through his brother-in-law Sonny Makasini and possesses a family football legacy via his father, a former NFL player. Despite the back-and-forth, Oregon's recruiting class remains highly ranked nationally. Kalaniuvalu is expected to enroll at BYU following his mission and could become a key interior lineman for the Cougars in future seasons.
