Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BYU TE Roger Saleapaga Provides Update from Fall Camp
Q: Any updates on family ties to BYU and how Keanu is doing?
Keanu is doing well as a barber in the area; it's meaningful to have family connections in BYU and his experience here helps me navigate class logistics and campus life, which has been a positive influence.
BYU TE Roger Saleapaga Provides Update from Fall Camp
Q: How has your relationship with Bear Bockemeyer helped lead this offense?
Bear is a great quarterback and leader; he brings nuances to the pass game that I'm still adjusting to, and fall camp is about aligning routes and attention to detail to stay on the same page every play.
BYU TE Roger Saleapaga Provides Update from Fall Camp
Q: What's your biggest strength as a tight end?
My strength is in the pass game, though I also like getting dirty in the trenches; I bring a versatile skill set that complements Walker and the rest of the room.
BYU TE Roger Saleapaga Provides Update from Fall Camp
Q: When you look at this now that you're here, this on the field, this tight end room looks pretty good with you and Walker Lyons. How do you guys differentiate?
We know our similarities and our differences; Coach Gilbride does a great job of letting us play to our strengths and not forcing the other to do what one can already do well; we push each other and are excited to practice and improve together.
BYU TE Roger Saleapaga Provides Update from Fall Camp
Q: What went into the decision to go into the portal? And I'm sure you've just dressed it, but to go into the portal and leave Oregon and ultimately land here at BYU?
It was a personal and faith-guided decision; I prayed about it and felt BYU was where Heavenly Father wanted me, so even though I loved Oregon, I followed that sense and ended up here.
