When you're 6-foot-7 and 340 pounds, it's not easy to blend in -- especially in a small, football- savvy town like
Aledo (Aledo, Texas).
So
Chuck Filiaga does what comes natural: he stands out.
The four-star offensive tackle, who has been recruited by powerhouse programs like Oklahoma and Oregon, USC and TCU, will play his senior season for the No. 1 ranked Bearcats, and his journey from American Samoa to Southern California to the Friday night lights of Texas, is the focus of Episode 2 of the original Star-Telegram web series Titletown, TX.
As Aledo gets ready for its first game of the season against former 6A standout Colleyville Heritage, Filiaga has quickly become the big man on Aledo's campus, with his giant smile and outsized personality. But can he measure up to all those expectations?
New episodes debut Wednesdays at
titletowntx.com through December.
