Losing 4 scholie OL (Taylor, Tupai, Hauani’o, Webb) leaves only 12 scholie OL entering Fall Camp.• Notable changes to roster:
> Slotback Nic Tom is retiring from football because of a recurring hip injury.
> Offensive lineman Josh Hauani‘o will medically retire.
> Cornerback Kayson Smith-Bejgrowicz will focus on engineering studies this semester and rejoin the Warriors next year.
> Offensive tackle Austin Webb will not play this season while recovering from a leg infection.
> Running back Mel Davis is not expected to play this season while recovering from a knee injury.
> Offensive lineman Elijah Tupai, who is in good academic standing, decided to forgo his senior season to take care of family matters.
> Tight end Sione Kauhi is no longer on the team.
> Offensive tackle Kingjames Taylor is no longer on the team
> Defensive tackle Ka‘aumoana Gifford is suspended for this season.
> Defensive end Jamie Tago was dismissed from the team.
OL will definitely be a top recruiting priority for the Class of 2018……since 4 more scholie OL (Allen, Wa’a, Norman, Posa) will be done after this coming season. Hopefully can land the top local Class of 2018 HS OL (Uluave, Veikoso, Hatchie).
DE will also be a top recruiting priority for the Class of 2018…….with Tago dismissed……and Meffy & Manoa done after this coming season. Hopefully can land the top local Class of 2018 HS DE (Emmsley, Welch).
