As a recruit: Teuhema originally committed to Texas in May 2013 along with his older brother Sione, only to eventually back of that pledge when the Longhorns fired then-coach Mack Brown later that year. In Feb. 2014, the brothers both pledged to LSU, a commitment that would stick throughout the process despite a late push from Oklahoma.
In college: Teuhema’s career got off to a terrific start in Baton Rouge as he started 11 games as a freshman while helping pave the way for Leonard Fournette’s 1,900-yard season. The versatile Teuhema continued his success a sophomore, playing guard on both sides of the line as well as right tackle while appearing in 12 games.
His career took a turn prior to the 2017 season as he was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. Rather than sit out the season at LSU, Teuhema elected to transfer to FCS program Southeastern Louisiana, where he once again reunited with Sione (who transferred away from the Tigers in 2016). Teuhema started all 11 games at Southeastern while playing left tackle in 2017 and elected to enter the draft early despite having another year of eligibility.
Now: Teuhema signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints.
Farrell’s take: I was never a huge Teuhema fan when it comes to five-star status as I thought he might be a little slug-footed, but when he was focused he was very good. The suspension and transfer killed him but he has the talent to stick if he can keep his head on straight.
