AT COLORADO: This Season (Fr.)-Projected as a defensive lineman his true freshman year in college.

HIGH SCHOOL-As a senior, SuperPrep ranked him as the No. 3 and Rivals.com as the No. 10 player in the state of Hawai'i, the top defensive tackle on both lists; SP also ranked him the No. 69 player in the Far West Region. Scout.com ranked him the No. 85 defensive tackle nationally, while ESPNHS named him to its All-Hawai'i team. He was the Interscholastic League of Hawai'i (ILH, the state's private school league) defensive player of the year. The Honolulu Star Advertiser named him first-team All-ILH and second-team All-State. He earned honorable mention All-ILH as a junior. Kamehameha doesn't keep defensive statistics, encouraging players not to keep track of them, but the team allowed just 88.1 rushing yards per game his senior season. His top game was playing in the rotation on the defensive line as a sophomore and winning the state championship. In his senior season against rival Punahou, he had two interceptions and a sack despite it being in a losing effort. Kamehameha recorded a 23-10 record in his three seasons as a letterwinner under coach David Stant: 7-4 as a senior, 5-5 as a junior and 12-1 as a sophomore, winning the ILH state championship that season (they lost in the championship game his senior year). He also played baseball and participated in track and field on the junior varsity level before focusing on football.

ACADEMICS-He is undecided on his major at Colorado, but is interested in Business. An honor roll student throughout high school, he maintained a 3.3 grade point average as a prep.

PERSONAL-He was born March 1, 1994 in Honolulu. His hobbies include body surfing, hanging out at the beach and working out. In a program through his high school weightlifting coaches, he participated in community service by working with the Special Olympics.
