CB Brian Clay Jr. commits to the Warriors! Green and Letuli will play in the East-West Shrine Game

About why he picked UH, Brian Clay Jr. (who took a recruiting trip to UH in early December) said:
"I love the family atmosphere there. That's important because it's so far away from home." (HSA)

"Hawaii is going to win a lot of games. It's going in the right direction. I want to be a part of that." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Clay said he is 6 feet 1, 185 pounds, and can run 40 yards in 4.59 seconds. He is projected to compete as a cornerback and on special teams. Scouts liken Clay to UH freshman John Hardy-Tuliau. Clay will put his commitment in writing Feb. 2, the first day recruits may sign binding national letters of intent. He will turn down offers from Army, Air Force, Colorado State, San Diego State, Nevada-Las Vegas, San Jose State and Utah State. His father played for Fresno State, and now is an agent representing football and baseball players."


About why he works for a car wash, Clay said:
"I don't like to rely on my family for money. They already do a lot for me." (HSA)


About how people often ask him if he's related to the gold-medal-winning decathlete of the same name, Clay said:
"It's pretty good that people think that. He's one of the world's greatest athletes." (HSA)



About Alex Green and Laupepa Letuli being invited to play in the East-West Shrine Game, Rich Miano said:
"It's huge for them. And it's good for our program. It gives Hawaii exposure." (HSA)


About how Letuli will play tackle in the game even though the NFL scouts project him as a guard, Letuli's agent Leo Goeas said:
"This will help him more. It's much easier to move inside (from tackle to guard) than to play tackle." (HSA)


About how he hopes to impress in the East-West Shrine game because he was injured throughout his UH career, Letuli said:
"The whole time I've been (at UH), I've been hurt. Hopefully, I can start doing something in the Shrine game." (HSA)
