This literally and figuratively a huge commitment. He was getting playing time as a true freshman as a DL at Washington. He could be a first game starter this coming season.

Warriors land transfer defensive lineman from UW

By Stephen Tsai Today Updated 11:38 pm

A highly regarded transfer from Washington was among the commitments the University of Hawaii football received on Monday. The 2023 recruiting class now includes:

>> Kuau Peihopa, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle, is transferring from the Huskies and is set to join the Rainbow Warriors in January. “I’m a Warrior,” Peihopa told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “I’m ready to go.”

Peihopa was a starting offensive guard and defensive tackle at Kamehameha before signing with Washington in December 2019. He played in four games as a redshirt in 2020 and three this past season. He entered the transfer portal last week.

“He is a super hard worker,” former Kamehameha head coach Abu Maafala said. “He’ll go above and beyond what is necessary and needed. A conversation I had to have with him in high school was I encouraged him to find a hobby. All he did was eat, sleep and football. … They’re going to get a guy who is going to give everything he has.”

Peiohopa, who has three years of eligibility remaining, is projected to compete at defensive tackle.

Cool pick up but a bit concerned about why he got suspended for team rules at UW. I hope whatever he did, he learned. Would be a big Poho for him to come home and no can follow team rules.

Two years away from home and troubles with his previous team and coaches. Life lessons learned. Let's hope for the best.
