KGI Note: "Three Kaua'i Interscholastic Federation football All-Stars participated in National Signing Day on Wednesday, as Kapa'a High School standout lineman Sean Michael Shigematsu, Kaua'i High School captain and quarterback Trey Shimabukuro and Waimea High School all-everything athlete Kaulana Waalani-Arroyo each penned their names to play football at the next level, starting next season.
Shigematsu will be trading in one Warriors uniform for another, as the 6-foot-6, 255 pound tackle is jumping the puddle to O'ahu to join coach Greg McMackin and the University of Hawai'i."
KGI Note: "Shigematsu made himself a hot commodity at the All Poly Camp at Kapi'olani Park on O'ahu in July, attending with a number of his Kapa'a teammates. It was there that he quickly put himself on UH's radar. His full scholarship offer came shortly after that and he headed into the KIF season already knowing he had a spot at UH waiting for him."
About getting the scholarship offer from UH over the summer, Shigematsu said:
"It kind of took some of the weight off my shoulders. Like I didn't have to worry. But it gave me some incentive to play better." (KGI)
About signing with UH, Shigematsu said:
"Today was pretty overwhelming. But it was exciting to be able to represent my family, my school, the island and UH." (KGI)
Prepared for the challenge of moving up from the KIF to D-IA, Shigematsu said:
"Guys are going to be a lot bigger, but I'll be able to handle my own once I get up to their stature." (KGI)
Asked what he was looking forward to most about going to UH, Shigematsu said:
"Just going to college to get my education and becoming a Warrior." (KGI)
