Summary
54 yards was the standout number at BYU’s 11th fall-camp practice, where Matthias Dunn closed Tuesday’s session by hitting a long field goal through teammate distractions.
Both BYU kickers—Dunn and Brody Laga—made all three field-goal attempts during the media viewing window, giving the Cougars a clean special-teams showing before a brief camp break in Park City.
Transfers also kept drawing attention: Kansas State linebacker Jake Clifton delivered a third-down stop and sideline chase, while Oregon tight end Roger Saleapaga again flashed as a receiver and blocker.
Stanford transfer guard Zak Yamauchi worked with the first-team offensive line after recovering from spring injuries, and running back Preston Rex took first-team reps after coaches said he will play this season.
The practice came as BYU continues its buildup to the 2026 season, with camp observations suggesting roster newcomers are pushing for key roles across special teams, defense and offense.
