Three more Hawaii players have made 247sports top recruit list as three star talents. 247sports had scouts at Monday’s Warrior 4 Youth event at Farrington and were impressed enough with the performances they saw to add these three to the national recruit rank:

Pupualii Sepulona, EDGE, St. Louis 6-3 235

Fale Timoteo,DL, Campbell 6-3 240

Noa Lemau, OL, Kapolei 6-3 280

More players from last weeks Warrior 4 Youth camp at Farrington received three star ranks from 247sports.

From Mililani: Ejay Tapeni,DL 6-3 250, Trehsyn Fasili,LB 6-1 195, and Timothy Wallace,CB 5-10 160.

From Campbell: Tainoa Lave,ATH 5-11 175.

It seems that more camp/combines in the islands are being scouted by the big national recruiting services and is opening their eyes to more Hawaii players who could play FBS but don’t have the ability to do any mainland camps to get evaluated in person. Hope this trend continues.

Nash Burkart,Kapaa ATH 6-1 160 received a three star rank from 247sports. I believe he is being viewed as a DB at the next level.

Sean Connell, ATH, Punahou 6-2 190 has received a two-star rank from 247 sports. My guess is that Connell will be thePuns starter at QB. He had been the dual threat QB at Kaiser until recently.

The junior class of players has expanded with the award of three-star ranks to:

Packs Ahovelo OT ,Kailua 6-6 320
Adruen Meredith EDGE, St. Louis 6-4 240
Jordan Nunuha WR, St.Louis 6-1 175
Benjamin Honebein EDGE, Kailua 6-2.5 230

This might be a first in Hawaii prep football recruiting in the modern era(since 2000). Halakilangi Muagututia Jr. Kahuku
6-1 220 is being recruited as a long-snapper . He has a three-star rank from 247sports. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a long snapper being recruited out of the islands before.* Looks like he is committed to UCLA.

Chris Rubio has him rated as the No. 1 long snapper nationally from the class of 2025.

*update. Hiapo Kaapana Kamehameha 2022 had been recruited as a long snapper.Under the radar player who saw his junior year opportunity to start on varsity wiped out by Covid-19. Went to a Chris Rubio long snapping camp in Las Vegas and came out of it as the No.2 high school LS in the country.Apparently committed to Linfield University,OR. Doesn’t appear on Linfield’s archived rosters from 2022 or 2023 though.

Love this post about a Kahuku long snapper being committed to UCLA. Never heard of anything like this either! Very impressive even if this is a preferred walk on type spot at UCLA. Also interesting is that this young man then transferred into Kahuku from a school in Texas for his senior year. Kahuku is a great program, not surprised.

Matai Fuiava QB Kahuku carries his three star rank over to Hawaii from California. Fuiava , 6-3 190, is a solid FBS recruit who comes to the north shore from St. John Bosco HS in Bellflower,CA.

Practices have started for the Polynesian Bowl game at Kamehameha this weekend. Per 247sports, Titan Lacaden had one of the best practice sessions on Monday. Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele caught a few eyes from scouts and coaches too. Mana Carvalho was getting reps on offense and defense. I expect he will make plays on both sides of the ball when the game starts.
