David Katina commits to the Warriors!

About selecting UH, 6'2", 225-pound DE David Katina said:
"I'm going to be a Warrior." (HA)

HA Note: "Katina attends Kanana Fou High, which does not field a football team, but plays for Fa'asao Marist High."

Praising Katina, Fa'asao coach Time Fitala said:
"He's an awesome player. He's the best defensive end on the island." (HA)

HA Note: "Katina also plays offensive tackle, offensive guard, defensive tackle and linebacker. The Samoa News named Katina as the defensive player of the week after he amassed 12 tackles, including four for losses, and two sacks against powerful Samoana High."

Comparing Katina to John Fonoti, Fitala said;
"With a little more technique and a little more muscle, he'll be another Fonoti. He's about the same size, same height, same body structure. But he's a younger version." (HA)

HA Note: "Katina's siblings are the Katina Brothers, a musical group based in Tennessee. His father, David Katina Sr., is a pastor and musician who recently moved to Hawai'i. Katina attended Word of Life Academy as a freshman and Campbell High as a sophomore. He moved back to American Samoa for his junior year. He lives with his grandmother."

HA Note: "Katina can run 40 yards in 4.8 seconds, and bench press 315 pounds."

About choosing UH over offers from SMU and Oregon State, Katina said:
"I always wanted to be a Warrior. Most of my family went there." (HA)
