Maleko is a 5 star WR coming out of the Port of Apia. He wasn’t very educated growing up and he didn’t have a very good childhood. He was determined to push himself further and further until he got to where he wanted to be. One day, he thought about taking up football. He moved to America when was 14 and later went to Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, GA. He did take up football in his freshman year. He was a breakout star WR. He would end his freshman year with 1,570 yards and 15 touchdowns on the season. Over the course of his high school career, he would finish with 6,058 yards and 68 TDs with each season being over 1000 yards. His senior year, his team went all the way to the state championship game where he posted a stat line of 215 yards and 1 TD. They went on to win this game 27-21. He looks forward to pursuing a college career in football and hopes to be just as good as he was in high school.
