Chukwuemeka Drawing National Attention from D1's in Short Order
Last month, Allen Trieu of 247Sports wrote a feature on East LA College defensive end David Chukwuemeka. A former power-foward for UC Merced's men's basketball team, Chukwuemeka decided to give football a go and caught the attention of ELAC head coach Bobby Godinez.
In barely half a season, Chukwuemeka has also caught the attention of many prominent NCAA Division-1 football programs similarly to former Husky standout (and current NFL Draft prospect) Max Iheanachor who is now at Arizona State playing for the Aztecs.
