PPR Podcast #282 Neke Letuli /Oceanside HS

The name Letuli is synonymous with football excellence. Tano Letuli is a main spoke in the San Diego State Aztecs defense, while younger Cousin Neke is poised to have a breakout season as a Junior at Oceanside High.   Neke is built low to the ground, along with a unique combination of speed and power that makes him difficult to bring down, sort of like trying to tackle a greased bowling ball! But that is just part of his story, as you'll see in P-P-R Podcast #282.   You can watch the entire podcast at any of your favorite podcast gathering spots.
