While driving there…Gregg Popovich  was engaged in an automobile accident.

A young man with incredible strength travels from a far-off region to defeat other gladiators in front of millions of spectators in stadiums. 

Okay, so Tommy Togiai is not a super hero and Idaho is not that far away.

But the prospective Ohio State defensive tackle in the NFL has an intriguing past. If Marvel Studios gave Togiai the treatment they gave the Avengers, this could be the first scene.

As a sophomore, Togiai goes to Highland High School in Pocatello, Idaho. His coach is furious and dissatisfied with his team for not being able to effectively drill offense. Eventually, he has no more choices.

Togiai’s defensive line coach at Highland, Cade Ackley, asserted that there were other incidents like that one throughout his career. Even the football program that produced Taysom Hill, the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, and several other Division I players could only be in awe of the kind and charming Togiai, who was a force to be reckoned with.
