Lennay Kekua, Manti Te'o's Fake Girlfriend, "Died" One Year Ago Today

Tristan ThornburghJun 7, 2018

On September 12, 2012, Notre Dame LB and Heisman candidate Manti Te'o was coping with the death of his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, just days before Notre Dame was set to play Michigan. 

This was all, of course, before Deadspin broke the story of Kekua being entirely made-up last January.

A lot has transpired since: Te'o is now on the San Diego Chargers' roster, "catfish" is a widely known term, and Kekua even made it in Maxim's Hot 100
