This season, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior defensive end/linebacker is a leader on a defense with just four returning starters. “He can do it all. Put his hand in the dirt. Drop back into coverage. Use his pass rushing ability,” first-year Kamehameha head coach Abu Maafala said. “His versatility is great because it allows us […]
