Same HS as the most recent OL commit so assume there's a connection there. And, with Jaron, is our second Hawaiian QB. Here's hoping that the Ohana keeps everyone happy together in Berkeley!

Past St. Louis Crusader QBs include Marcus Mariota, Tua Tagovailoa, Jayden de Laura, Timmy Chang, Jason Gesser, Darnell Arceneaux, and Jeremiah Masoli. They were all developed by one guy - VInny Passas, who has coached QBs for 43 years at St. Louis HS.

Another player from St. Louis (HI) is Tyson Alualu.

The current head coach of St. Louis is Tupu Alualu, Tyson's uncle. It was Tupu who inspired Tyson to get into football.

loving the Hawaii surge. This could be a great way to establish relationships with these schools. I also imagine once a team hits critical mass of Hawaiian players, others will be more inclined to come!

Saw the same thing about 30 years ago with Iheanyi Uwaezuoke (I had to look up the spelling!) and several Nigerian/Nigerian-American players who he persuaded to follow him to Cal.
