HG: Hawaii well represented in D-I FCS as well

Including the University of Hawaii, more than 100 players who graduated from high school in Hawaii are on FBS rosters this season.

But that’s not all in Division I.

Another 29 kids from Hawaii are on rosters of Division I FCS schools.

Southern Utah is the most popular landing spot with seven kids from Hawaii on the roster. Sophomore receiver Judd Cockett (Punahou ’17) caught a 12-yard touchdown pass in a 34-30 loss to North Alabama to start the season on Saturday.

San Diego sophomore Kama Kamaka (Kamehameha ’17), who made three starts last year as a true freshman, had six tackles with 1 1/2 tackles for loss and half a sack in a 38-9 win over Western New Mexico to start the season.

Linebacker Nohea Keahi (Baldwin ’15) is a senior linebacker at Duquesne, which will play Hawaii at Aloha Stadium on Sept. 22.
