EL CAJON (11-29-15) — Nevada’s IAN SEAU made a muscular debut Saturday night (Nov. 28) against San Diego State at Qualcomm Stadium.
It took at least two Aztecs to block the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Seau, who kept the pressure on the Aztecs despite a 31-14 loss.
Seau finished with three jarring tackles, two for losses, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the Aztecs.
Seau, a product of Grossmont College, finished the season for the Wolf Pack and has 94 tackles and 17 sacks for his career at Nevada (6-6).
— Boise State 6-foot-4, 329-pound offensive tackle MARIO YAKOO out of Steele Canyon, is rated as high as No. 64 in the 2017 draft class by several of the various professional combines.
— Marshal University defensive end GARY THOMPSON out of Helix High chalked up four solo tackles and delivered two vicious hits on Western Kentucky’s quarterback, but the Hilltoppers still skated away with 49-28 victory over the Thundering Herd.
— Arizona State cornerback KWEISHI BROWN saw the University of California direct its offense away from him as the Golden Bears claimed a 48-46 victory.
