Newegg will also have sizable deals on laptops, gaming laptops, gaming desktop PCs, PC components, headphones and other products.

Latu uses tech for academics, athletics and entertainment:

• A laptop is used to connect with class assignments. It’s also used to review information from coaches.
• Health statistics and sleep are tracked with a fitness wearable.
• Fortnite on Xbox is time well spent online playing with teammates.

“When I’m looking for tech products, I shop online at Newegg because they have everything I want. And to back up my digital files, I use a Seagate drive,” said Latu. “This has been an amazing year for me both on the football field and on campus. Joining Newegg and Seagate to promote their holiday sales is another great milestone.”

A 6-foot-5 senior from Sacramento, Calif., Latu has been a force for the Bruins’ powerful defense this year while climbing the school’s all-time sacks list. He uses his strength and a variety of quick moves to maneuver around offensive linemen to generate sacks, loss of yardage tackles and quarterback pressures. Latu and his defensive teammates have been credited by sports media for several of the Bruins’ wins this season.

“‘Disruptor’ and ‘game changer’ are used in the tech industry to describe a person who is innovative and unique, but those terms also describe Laiatu Latu in a college football game. He can make a major impact on the game’s outcome,” said Eric Wein, Director of Public Relations for Newegg. “Newegg and Seagate are aligning with a player described as an ‘unstoppable force’ because we want to connect with Latu’s drive for success.”

A stadium divided in loyalty and a fixated national TV audience in the millions will be watching Latu and UCLA when it takes on crosstown rival USC this Saturday, Nov. 18, at 12:30 p.m. PST.
