PPR Podcast #283 Gaige Weddle /Rancho Bernardo HS

There is no shortage of standout 2-way players in San Diego. Honor Fa'alave Johnson headlines the conversation, but what about Pia Polamalu at St. Augustine, or Neke Letuli at Oceanside or Jeremy Davis at Helix?  Am I forgetting somebody? What about Gage Weddle?  The Rancho Bernardo Junior-to-be has been starting at safety since his freshman season and has added starting quarterback duties since his sophomore campaign.  Just like his dad, Gage can seemingly do it all on the football field, which explains why he's in the center seat of PPR podcast #283.   You can watch the entire podcast at any of your favorite podcast gathering spots.

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.

PPR Podcast #281 Caleb Davis /SDSU General Manager

At first glance, Caleb Davis could pass for one of San Diego State's 40-thousand students on campus. But don't be fooled by his youthful appearance. Caleb is one of the most important figures in the SDSU sports department. The former Notre Dame Director of Recruiting is the Aztecs first ever General Manager hire. And just like in professional sports, getting the right G-M is as critical as hiring the right Head Coach or recruiting the right Quarterback.  That was just one of the topics in P-P-R podcast #281.    You can watch the entire podcast at any of your favorite podcast gathering spots.
