BYU Football Locks in Official Visit Date with 4-Star Linebacker Sione Laulea
The BYU Cougars continue to make waves on the recruiting front, and the latest sign of progress is the confirmed official visit of 4-star linebacker Sione Laulea. The California standout has set his visit to Provo for later this month, marking a major step in BYU’s efforts to land one of the West Coast’s top defensive prospects in the 2025 class.
Laulea, who stands at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, is known for his explosive tackling, sideline-to-sideline range, and high football IQ. He’s earned scholarship offers from several Pac-12 and Big 12 schools, but BYU has steadily remained in the mix thanks to consistent communication and a growing relationship with the defensive coaching staff.
Sources close to Laulea’s camp suggest that BYU has positioned itself as a serious contender. The program’s family culture, commitment to player development, and its growing profile in the Big 12 have all impressed Laulea and his family. Defensive coordinator Jay Hill and linebackers coach Justin Ena have led the charge in recruiting Laulea, and both are expected to play key roles during his visit.
For BYU, landing Laulea would be a huge boost to the linebacker room, which has seen some transition in recent years. With his size, speed, and leadership qualities, Laulea is viewed as a player who could make an early impact, especially in a conference loaded with high-powered offenses.
His official visit will include a full tour of facilities, time with coaches and current players, and a breakdown of how he fits into BYU’s defensive scheme. If the visit goes as planned, Cougar Nation could be looking at a major commitment soon.
All eyes will be on Provo as Sione Laulea steps foot on campus — and possibly into BYU’s future.
