Sataoa Laumea (born January 13, 2001) is an American football guard for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Utah.
Early life
One of ten children, Laumea grew up in Rialto, California, and attended Eisenhower High School where he played football and competed in track and field.[1] He played as a two-way lineman for Eisenhower and was named first-team All-Citrus Belt League, first-team all-area and the All-CIF Southern Section Division 10 Offensive Player of the Year.[1] A highly-recruited prospect, he played in the Polynesian Bowl and was ranked a four-star recruit, committing to play college football for the Utah Utes.[2][3]
College career
As a true freshman at Utah in 2019, Laumea redshirted and appeared in one game.[4] He then started all five games as a right guard in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season and was chosen second-team All-Pac-12 Conference.[5] He started 13 games at the position in 2021 and earned honorable mention All-Pac 12 honors.[4] He started 14 games, 13 at right tackle, in 2022, being named first-team all-conference while helping the team have the second-best rushing offense in the Pac-12.[6][7] He returned in 2023 and received a second-team all-conference selection, his fourth time on the Pac-12 all-star team.[8] Although Laumea had an extra year of eligibility remaining, he entered the 2024 NFL draft by accepting an invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl, finishing his collegiate career having recorded 38 consecutive starts.[9][10]
