Manti Te'o was one of the most promising linebackers in the early 2010's. He began his collegiate career in 2009 at the University of Notre Dame. He played there for four years and became a consensus All-American. He took home eight national awards, cementing his case as one of the top college linebackers.
He was drafted in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He stayed there through the 2016 season before moving over to New Orleans between 2017-2019. Following this, he played one season in Chicago before leaving the NFL.
Te'o's playing career was overshadowed by a catfishing scandal that rocked the nation during his time at Notre Dame. He was one of the most beloved athletes in the nation one day and something of a laughing stock the next.
His "girlfriend" was Naya Tuiasosopo, who has since come out as a trans woman. She invented Lennay Kekua’s persona, who entered into a relationship with the linebacker. Ultimately, the truth came out and became one of the most public examples of catfishing. The full story was detailed in the 2022 Netflix documentary Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist.
