For two months, a watch could be set to former Hawaii football player Vaughn Meatoga’s schedule.

Meatoga worked out twice a day — one session focused on weight training, the other on conditioning — and spent his nights in trainer Chad Ikei’s living room in Hawaii Kai.

Meatoga was among 11 pro prospects living with Ikei, who is married and has five children. Ikei’s wife prepared all of the meals.

In those conditions, Meatoga barely had the room or the time to dream.

“It was about trying to get better every day,” Meatoga said.

Meatoga will learn this week if his efforts will be rewarded. He is considered the most highly regarded 2012 UH prospect entering the NFL Draft, which consists of seven rounds spread from Thursday through Saturday.

“A lot of teams have been calling,” Meatoga said. “They want to know where I’ll be this week.”

Most likely, Meatoga will be at Ikei’s house. Meatoga’s family home is on Kauai.

“Chad taught me a lot of things,” Meatoga said. “I don’t know if there’s any trainer better than him. He’s like an encyclopedia about the body.”

Meatoga, who is 6 feet 2 and 300 pounds, is projected as a 3-technique tackle (aligned in the gap between the guard and tackle) in a 4-3 defense and a nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. As a UH defensive tackle, he had two-gap responsibility similar to a nose tackle’s duties. Some analysts project Meatoga being selected as early as the fifth round.

Former UH defensive tackle Kaniela Tuipulotu once drew such a rating. But Tuipulotu suffered an injury to his right shoulder against Fresno State in November. He played the final two games virtually one-armed.

The injury kept Tuipulotu from competing in the bench press at UH’s pro day on March 5. During the 40-yard dash, he suffered a pulled hamstring, which prevented him from participating in the position drills.

“If I could tell the future, I would have had (a corrective procedure) earlier,” said Tuipulotu, who began his rehabilitation program a week after pro day.

He does not regret playing in UH’s final two games.

“It was my senior year, and we had a chance to go to a bowl,” he said. “I wanted to play.”

The Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts have expressed interest in Tuipulotu, most likely as a free agent.

Former UH linebacker Aaron Brown participated in the Seattle Seahawks’ audition last month.

Last fall, Brown volunteered to serve as a scout running back during practice. Video of the practice, in which Brown bulled his way through the defense, made it to NFL scouts. The San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns and Broncos are interested in Brown as a running back.

Former UH defensive lineman Zach Masch did well in UH’s pro day. A couple of weeks later, he participated in Sacramento State’s pro day. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds, drawing attention from coaches for the New York Jets, St. Louis Rams and Colts. The Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons and Seahawks have contacted Masch.

“I’m anxious to see if my dream will come true,” said Masch, who can play defensive tackle and defensive end.

Wide receiver Royce Pollard has been contacted by NFL teams. Pollard participated in the UH and San Diego State pro days.

After intensive training since January, Pollard took a break and went to Mexico for a few days. He returns on Wednesday. There is a possibility Pollard could find himself across the northern border. Pollard and quarterback Shane Austin are expected to receive offers from the Canadian Football League. Both have been training under former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia.
