Elite JUCO prospect Sione Laulea III adds USC to top five list of schools
Earlier this week, College of San Mateo (Calif.) cornerback Sione Laulea III announced his top five schools.
Laulea is listed at 6-4 and 185 pounds. He is ranked the No. 1 junior college prospect in the country by 247Sports. He has 18 reported scholarship offers, but his final five included Oklahoma, Oregon, Miami, Penn State and USC.
Laulea really took advantage of his time at the College of San Mateo. After picking up just one FCS offer out of high school, Mateo has soared up the JUCO rankings in the Class of 2024 and now has five Power Five programs on his radar as he approaches a decision.
Laulea had 15 tackles and one interception as a freshman for the College of San Mateo last season with appearances in 10 games. San Mateo cruised to a California Community College Athletic Association football championship, capped by a 55-0 victory over top-ranked Riverside City College.
It’s unsure when he will make his decision, but there’s a chance Laulea can stay in state and head down to Southern California. We wish Laulea the best in his final season at the College of San Mateo.
