Early life
TeSlaa is from Hudsonville, Michigan. His father, Mark, played college football as a wide receiver for the Hillsdale Chargers. TeSlaa grew up playing football as a quarterback and became a starter at Unity Christian High School as a junior. He led Unity Christian to the state championship that season, the first in school history. He then helped Unity Christian reach the state playoff semifinals in 2019, and that year he threw for 448 yards and 10 touchdowns while rushing for 1,139 yards and 14 touchdowns.
In addition to participating in football, TeSlaa also helped the basketball team to a state championship and competed in track and field, setting the school long jump record. He was lightly recruited and only had a single NCAA Division I offer, from the FCS-level Valparaiso Beacons. However, instead of joining the Beacons, TeSlaa opted to sign with the Hillsdale Chargers, where his father and several other family members had attended.
