CD Mike Edwards, S Tigi Hill, and LB Ben Mamea commit to the Warriors!

About his commitment to UH, Mike Edwards said:
"I'm going to be a Warrior. I'm going to sign with Hawaii. No doubt about it." (HSA)

HSA Note: "Edwards played five games as a true freshman in 2009. But in November of that year, Edwards and three teammates were arrested and initially charged with armed robbery. The players were dismissed from the team. Later, the charges were dropped. There is no legal claim against Edwards. Last year, Edwards enrolled at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas. He attended classes toward an associate's degree, but didn't play football."


Kahuku coach Reggie Torres said that Tigi Hill is:
"a heck of a player with a great attitude. He's a happy kid. He brings to practice that positive energy." (HSA)

"He's not afraid to bring the hat. We saw that in the all-star game." (HSA)


About how Hill played SS, FS, WR, QB, and LB for their team, Torres said:
"And he's very good on special teams." (HSA)


Praising how Ben Mamea plays, Torres said:
"He can go sideline to sideline to make a play. He's a great leader." (HSA)


About choosing UH, Mamea said:
"I wanted to stay home and play in front of my family. I wanted to be around the environment." (HSA)


About how UH's defensive system is similar to Kahuku's, Mamea said:
"It's going to be good to play for them." (HSA)
