Junior To Watch: Hercules Satele

Junior to Watch: Hercules Satele.

School: Long Beach (Calif.) Poly

Position: Offensive Tackle. Hercules has the athleticism and the talent level to play any of the five offensive line positions on the D1 level.

Size and Speed: Satele stands 6-foot-4, weighs in at 250 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds. Hercules benches 285 pounds, squats 525 pounds and cleans 265 pounds.

Statistics: N/A.

Honors: Satele was a all-league selection as a junior and sophomore.

Favorite Schools: USC and Oregon may have the edge for this talented player since he grew up watching both schools. His sports hero is former Trojan great and current all-pro linebacker for the San Diego Chargers Junior Seau. UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Wisconsin, Texas A&M and Alabama are also corresponding with the talented lineman from Long Beach Poly.

The Skinny: Hercules is another great player from the legendary Long Beach Poly program. Satele is a rare three-year starter for Poly and he has been an all-league selection since his sophomore year.

Hercules has great feet and explodes off the ball. He’s very aggressive and sticks to his blocks and finishes them. The very athletic Satele will also play some defense this season in spot situations.

Hercules gets better by lining up against the likes of Junior Lemau’u and Joshua Tauanuu in practice.

Both Lemau’u and Tauanuu will be subjects as will all the other Poly prospects in Junior To Watch feature in the very near future…
