Weylin Lapuaho is stepping into the spotlight as the clear leader of BYU’s offensive line for the 2025 college football season. A powerful, experienced left guard with a nasty streak, Lapuaho has steadily climbed the ranks in Provo, developing into one of the most reliable and physical linemen in the Big 12. With several younger linemen around him and a new quarterback under center, his presence will be critical for the Cougars’ offensive stability.
Lapuaho, who started every game in 2024, allowed just two sacks all season and was frequently praised by head coach Kalani Sitake for his consistency and leadership. “Weylin plays with a chip on his shoulder,” Sitake said. “He sets the tone in the trenches and holds everyone to a high standard.”
Entering his senior year, Lapuaho has NFL scouts watching closely, especially given his combination of power, technique, and high football IQ. He’s also been vocal in mentoring BYU’s younger linemen, creating a cohesive unit that could surprise some of the conference’s top defenses.
For BYU Nation, Lapuaho represents more than just talent—he’s a leader, a warrior, and the foundation of what could be a breakout season for the Cougars’ offense.
