Sebastian Giovanni Andre Tretola (born May 1, 1992) is a former American football guard. He played college football at Arkansas, Iowa Western, and Nevada.[1]

Professional career

Tennessee Titans

Tretola was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round, 193rd overall, in the 2016 NFL draft.[2]

Tretola was waived by the Titans on July 28, 2017, days after being shot in the leg.[3]

Houston Roughnecks

On November 22, 2019, Tretola was drafted by the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL in the 2020 XFL Supplemental Draft.[4] He had his contract terminated when the league suspended operations on April 10, 2020.[5]

Legal issues

On May 10, 2017, Tretola and teammate Tajae Sharpe were named as defendants in a federal civil Lawsuit that alleges the teammates were at a Nashville bar watching the 2017 NFL draft. Dante R. Satterfield, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, claims he told Sharpe he'd probably lose playing time as a result of the Titans selecting wide receiver Corey Davis in the first round. The report alleges Sharpe responded by challenging him to a fight in a back alley and was accompanied by Tretola as a lookout. Satterfield claims he was knocked unconscious for 12 hours, suffered a concussion, and facial fractures from the incident and is suing for $500,000 in damages.[6] [7]
