Lapuaho was the first offensive lineman transfer to commit to BYU during the 2023 portal cycle.
Offensive line was a major focus for the Cougars after losing three key pieces up front.
His cousin, Ului Lapuaho was a BYU offensive lineman from 2014-18 and earned All-Independent honors.
The NCAA allows players to transfer once without sitting out. Lapuaho will be eligible in 2023 and has three years remaining in his collegiate career.
