Tristan Maea Teuhema (born October 17, 1996) is an American professional gridiron football offensive lineman. He played college football for Southeastern Louisiana after being suspended from LSU in 2017. He had stints with the San Antonio Commanders of the Alliance of American Football (AAF); Dallas Renegades, Orlando Guardians, Arlington Renegades, and San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL; and Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League (USFL).
A native of Keller, Texas, Teuhema attended Keller High School, where he was an All-American offensive lineman.[1] His older brother, Sione Teuhema, was a defensive lineman for Keller. Regarded as a four-star recruit by ESPN, Maea Teuhema was ranked as the No. 2 offensive guard prospect in the class of 2015.[2] Both Sione and Maea Teuhema verbally committed to Texas in May 2013,[3] but decommitted after head coach Mack Brown resigned. In February 2014, both Teuhema brothers committed to Louisiana State.[4]
College career
As a true freshman, Teuhema played in all 12 games and started the last 11 at left guard, as part of an offensive line that helped Leonard Fournette rush for an LSU single-season rushing record of 1,953 yards. As a sophomore, Teuhema split time between both guard spots early in his sophomore campaign before settling in as the starting right tackle for the final six games of the season.
In August 2017, LSU suspended Teuhema for academic reasons,[5] causing him to transfer to Southeastern Louisiana.[6]
