He's got endless awards and recognitions now. He also lead Punahou to Hawaii's state championship and won. He's  Top 10 overall, 5-star recruit and was basically recruited by everyone from USC to Florida to Auburn to Notre Dame. He narrowed it down to USC, Notre Dame, BYU, Stanford and UCLA. He kills on the field. He's a good kid too.

Punahou School's Manti Te'o

 

WHO???

---

What do you mean "who," I just explained it and even included a vid. I don't know what else you want.

---

Honestly, if he wants to become anybody as a linebacker in the NCAA, he should only have to choose between Ohio State, USC, and Penn State.

---

i saw him play int he game between punahou and leilehua

kids WAY faster than youd' think for alinebacker

only one play got past him and tahts cause he read the offense wrong

pretty good stuff

He hasn't chosen a school yet. USC is in his top 5 but the other two Big-10 schools aren't. I don't agree with a few of his choices but Stanford and UCLA do offer a good education and BYU favors his being Mormon.

most likely

hes prob going BYU OR USC

most likely

---

Yeah, I'd hate for him to go to BYU though. Charlie Weis has been trying to recruit him hardcore too. It'd be cool if he went to USC because Punahou has more kids coming in each year than any other high school in the country so he could represent, and USC just picked up another good LB out of Kapolei High School in Hawaii as well.

y'all nukhuhs that be aight wit dat bullshiiit, just hit us up mang

Punahou does have talent but not always. This class was exceptional, they usually lose in the ILH to Saint Louis. This was their first state title in football. This year's offense definitely was sick though with Cayman Shutter (Hawaii), Dalton Hilliard (UCLA), Roby Toma (UCLA), Kimo Makaula (Hawaii), etc.

Seriously, though, the more I watch footage on Manti Te'o, the more I realize how good he really is. He's a straight beast.
