A two-year starter at Linfield College, Aleki Pascua is in his third season as a graduate assistant.
The 29-year-old (3-30-75) native of American Samoa played guard and center at Linfield from 1993-97, where he earned allleague honors as a senior and helped the Wildcats extend the nation’s longest streak of consecutive winning seasons into the 40s.
Pascua got his start in coaching at his alma mater in 1998 as an assistant coach for the defensive line. Then he moved to Eugene as defensive coordinator for two years at Churchill High School, which included a state semifinal appearance in 2000, before spending the 2001 season as the head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach at Willamette High School, where he helped the Wolverines qualify for the state playoffs for the first time in five years.
Pascua graduated from Hawaii’s St. Louis High School in 1993 where he was part of that school’s unprecedented 13 consecutive state championships (1987-99). He is a 1998 graduate of Linfield College where he earned a degree in physical education and a teaching certificate.
He and his wife Leanne, who works in the UO compliance office, were married in 2002.
