BYU Football receives commitment from former Oregon commit Alai Kalaniuvalu

On Saturday afternoon, a prospect who has been committed to playing for top-ranked Oregon since July announced that he has reneged on his commitment to BYU.

Alai Kalaniuvalu, an offensive lineman who began his high school career at Timpview near the BYU campus before transferring to national power Bishop Gorman in Nevada, announced his pledge to the Cougars on social media.

Kalaniuvalu, listed by 247 Sports at 6-foot-1 and weighing 300 pounds, did not publicly announce that he was decommitting from Oregon before announcing his intention to play for BYU.

A member of the Class of 2025, Kalaniuvalu is BYU's highest-rated commitment in the class to date at No. 235 nationally and has drawn interest from a number of the country's top programs.

According to 247, he took official visits to Oregon, Michigan, Utah, USC, Cal, BYU and Nebraska between late April and late June and has scholarship offers from across the Power Four.

Kalaniuvalu becomes the second standout offensive lineman in the 2025 class to announce his commitment to BYU on Saturday alone, joining veteran recruit Austin Pay.

According to 247, Kalaniuvalu is the 18th prospect overall to commit to the Cougars as part of their 2025 recruiting class.
