Seumalo just finished his second season at Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kansas. The schools are located about 245 miles away from each other.

He had eight sacks this calendar year. In the fall season, he had 19 total tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss.

Seumalo went to Molokai High School on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, which only has an eight-man football program. When he suits up for Kansas State, he will be the first-ever Division I player from the program.

“It means a lot, it’s a blessing and an honor, I get to come up here and continue my education in college,” Seumalo told the Maui News. “Being from a small island like Molokai, not a lot of people get the opportunity to do that. So, that I have the chance, it’s just a blessing all in all.”
