Since he may have been one of Iolani's biggest players, he often lined up at NT. But he appears to be a natural edge guy at DE or OLB. He's athletic, runs well and seems to be a good pass rusher when lined up outside. See his camp videos below.
Dela Cruz was listed at 6-1, 195 last season. He lists himself now at 6-3, 220. If that's accurate or close to being accurate, he's still growing.

His film looks good, but hard to access the talent level of blockers bc a few were lunging, had terrible feet for an OT and slow feet. Those inside moves are misleading bc the guard or center would help.
I assume he'll be a DE and will need to fill out bc today's OTs are 6'5 325. A nice pick up with tons of upside if he's still growing.

Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do.

Comparing and standing between Coach Ena and Coach Yoro, Haaheo is going to need to put some meat on his bones!

I suspect that his current weight is not updated on the Spring roster. In any event, we are looking at two years of physical maturity which can be a plus like when players return from LDS missions.BigWave96744 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 12:54 pmSeems to be the same height & weight from a year and a half agouhwarriors wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 12:19 am I hope he used his greyshirt half year to gain weight and strength.by uhwarriors » Sun Jun 26, 2022 12:17 am
