Kingsley Suamataia was a 5-star recruit out of Orem High School in Utah. He was high school teammates with Rams' rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua and they helped lead Orem High School to four consecutive state championships. Suamataia was ranked as the No. 5 overall offensive tackle in the nation. He was named the 2020 5A MVP and he committed to Oregon over offers from just about every Division 1 school.
His time at Oregon was minimal, as he played in one game as a freshman and was redshirted. After the season, he entered the transfer portal and quickly decided to transfer to BYU.
In 2022 he started 12 out of 13 games for the Cougars and did not allow a sack in 361 pass blocking snaps. He was named Second Team All-Freshman All-American.
Suamataia entered 2023 on the Outland Trophy watch list and was a preseason All-Big 12 selection. He started 12 games for the Cougars and has catapulted himself into first round discussions with his technique and physical dominance.
