. Leausa, who has two years of eligibility remaining, committed to the Cougars shortly after his official visit. We caught up with Leausa to talk about his transfer recruitment and decision to commit to BYU.
Once BYU extended Leausa an offer last Thursday, his recruitment moved really fast."The conversation when I picked up the offer from BYU was surreal," Leausa said."BYU has been the dream since I was a kid. Talking with Coach Woods was great and the other coaches on staff. He said I have a great opportunity at BYU and that he and myself have to/ want to make the most of it."
"My visit was great," Leausa said."The atmosphere in Provo is awesome. Walking around town with the coaches and doing all the activities was a really good time. Also being around some of the players and getting their feedback was great as well. My favorite part of the visit was being able to bring my wife, kids and parents. Watching them interact with everyone on the staff and doing some of the activities with me was great.
"The biggest thing that me and my wife talked about when it came to my recruitment is where I can contribute the most on and off the field," Leausa said."Where I can be a full time student athlete, husband and father...BYU checked every one of those boxes for us. The coaching staff and offense was another big reason. Coach Woods is great...The offense is very O-line friendly as well so that helped and solidified my commitment.
