Ty McCutcheon has received an invitation to an Elite11
regional QB competition.The Punahou QB was also in Cali for the Sup7r7on7 tourney this weekend . One scouting director was impressed with his frame and accuracy on deep throws.

The same scout also had Nazaiah Caravallo LB Kamehameha as one of the best ‘backers at Sup7r7on7.
Liked his size,instincts playing in space,and fluid hip transition going from backpedaling to running and getting to the ball.

Amazing honor for Ty. Hope he can perform better than Stephen Barber performed six years ago. What helps is that we are likely to have way more skill position players and offensive linemen returning than we did in 2017. I hope with those facts, Ty can perform as well as Marcus Mariota did in his only year of starting.

Interesting that Aiea has that many rated players as a DI school.
Cats don't have owners. Cats have servants.

Some local players stood out to scouts attending a couple of combines this past weekend.

One was the SoCal UnderArmour Next AllAmerica combine. 247sports top performers included Anelu Lafaele St.Louis and Ty McCutcheon Punahou. Lafaele impressed with his ability to get around OL on the outside or inside with a dip move. The writer said McCutcheon threw the ball as well as any QB there.

The 2023 Polynesian Bowl National Combine and Showcase was held at Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas. 247sports just listed the names of their top performers at each position but did not give any info on what the players showed to get on the list.
Nevertheless, a few local players made the list.

Tuli Tagovailoa-Amosa QB
KJ Hallums OL Punahou
Keola Apduhan RB St. Louis
Gabriel Liua DL Leilehua

Scouting services are digging a little deeper into the class of 2025 ,players who will be juniors in the fall. 247sports has ten Hawaii underclassmen they think colleges should be recruiting. All of the following are rated as three-stars by 247.

Max Fonoimoana LB Kahuku 6-3 200
Houston Kaahaaina-Torres OL St.Louis 6-3 265
Kaimana Carvalho ATH Kahuku 5-10 160
Ko’o Kia LB Punahou 6-2 195
Tana Togafau-Tavui WR Campbell 6-1 175
Aiden Manutai ATH Kahuku 6-0 170
Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele QB Campbell 6-3 205
Isaiah Iosefa S Waipahu 6-1 190
Zedekiah Anahu-Ambrosio WR Konawaena 5-10 155

Parity seems to be one takeaway so far for the 2023 season.Kahuku has five guys on the combined 2024-2025 recruit list. Punahou four. St.Louis has three guys who project to get to the major college level on the football field. Campbell has three players. Mililani,Kamehameha and Aiea have two while Kapolei and Konawaena have one each. There is still a ways to go with more players being evaluated during the camp/combine season.

The Elite 11 regional in Eugene,OR is over. Punahou QB Ty McCutcheon did not get an invite to the finals, at least not yet. 247sports Brandon Huffman expects that other QB’s like McCutcheon who made the top performers list will join Dylan Raiola(son of Dominic Raiola St.Louis,Nebraska,Detroit Lions alum) at the Elite 11 finals this summer..We’ll have to wait on that.

McCutcheon displayed terrific arm strength and read coverages well in 1 on 1’s. Deep throws burned defenders.Again,top performer,and other guys besides Raiola are expected to get invites before the regionals are done. I think he will get an invite.

Hawaii commit Micah Alejado(Hawaii born,Bishop Gorman HS QB) also made the top five QB list. Might see him at the finals too.

For now,Raiola is the only one with Hawaii ties who has an invitation.

In 247sports recent recruit rankings update, two players have been rated as newly minted three-stars.

Hyrum Moors DL Kahuku
Tuineau Muti OL Punahou

QB Ty McCutcheon Punahou is one of the eye catchers at the OT7 7on7 taking place Thursday-Sunday this week in Huntington Beach,CA. He is directing a high-scoring Lo Pro offense. Scouts are saying he is throwing a tight spiral and excelling at protecting the ball from defenders.

Has Muti transferred to Kahuku? If so, that would dampen my hopes of Ty having the kind of season Marcus Mariota had in his only year of starting. Ty is entering a similar position as Marcus. If anything, I hope Ty is more Marcus than Stephen Barber, who started his senior season strong (including with summer camps) but struggled to stay healthy and regain the momentum from the preseason.
