17 & Pro?! Young Superstars in Sports with Dom Natosi

from Ortega Squared · host Jaden and Angel

How does it feel to go pro before you can vote? In this episode of Ortega Squared, we break down the insane rise of young athletes making waves in college and pro sports. From Connor Bedard dominating the NHL at 17 to Ryan Williams reclassifying early for Alabama football, we look at how the path to stardom is getting younger every year.We’re joined by Dom Natosi, a 3-sport varsity athlete (Hockey, Football, Track), to talk about what it takes to compete at the highest level as a teenager. Plus, we dive into future stars like Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, and Jeremiah Smith, and how NIL deals are changing the game for young hoopers.Follow us on Instagram @ortega2podcast
