The one-two punch from Littleton, Colorado’s Chatfield High offensive line in 2010 is now one-two at center on Hawaii’s football depth chart.

Ben Clarke and Brenden Urban were Chatfield’s starting offensive tackles as seniors. Clarke grayshirted in 2011 and joined the Warriors in 2012. He was UH’s starting center last year. Urban played at Adams State in 2011 and then transferred to UH. He redshirted in 2012.

This spring, Urban is Clarke’s understudy. Asked how two tackles from the same high school ended up as UH centers, Urban said: “I guess we’re the smaller guys of the group.”

Clarke was instrumental in Urban’s transfer from Adams State.

“We were talking about it one day, and he said it would be cool if I came out here to Hawaii,” Urban said. “I always wanted to play D-I football, especially in Hawaii.”

Clark spoke with Chris Wiesehan, who coached the UH linemen in 2012, and Urban was permitted to join as a walk-on.

Urban practiced with the third-team offense while redshirting last year.

“This year, Coach (Chris) Naeole came in and gave me a shot,” Urban said. “It’s fun. It’s been amazing.”

DAVIS BIGGER, STRONGER

To beat the jam, wideout Trevor Davis figured he needed to go in a different direction. His offseason goal was for his weight to go up.

“Corners are getting pretty big nowadays,” said Davis, who will be a junior in the fall. “When they jam me, it’s sometimes hard to get off the line. Being bigger helps me push them out of my way to get into my route easier. I don’t want to get stuck on the line and hurt the timing of the play.”

Davis gained more than 10 pounds while working out twice a day in the offseason. He also added cross-fit training to his usual workouts.

Davis made two leaping catches during Thursday’s situational scrimmage.

“He made a lot of plays out there,” quarterback Taylor Graham said. “I didn’t make the greatest throws, but he covered up for it. He’s a good player. I’m trying to take advantage of that.”

Davis and Chris Gant have been the No. 1 wideouts in spring training. Scott Harding is the slotback when the Warriors are in three-receiver sets. The Warriors signed five receivers.

“We’re going to have a harder offseason knowing these guys are coming in trying to take our spot,” Davis said.

Davis welcomes the additions. There currently are eight scholarship receivers on the roster. Samson Anguay and Allen Sampson are recovering from knee injuries and not available for contact drills this spring.

“We need more guys,” Davis said. “We’re pretty short on numbers right now.”

IT’S HAMMER TIME

Running backs hit holes. Fullback Marcus Langkilde hits defenders to create the holes.

“I learned in high school to be the hammer and not the nail,” said Langkilde, who was raised in California. “It’s always my motive to play downhill and play hard.”

Langkilde, who is 5 feet 11 and 235 pounds, was the star of last year’s scrimmages involving redshirts and developing players. He was restricted to practices and meetings after transferring from Whittier College. When the 2012 season ended, Langkilde discarded the redshirt label.

“It’s really good to be part of the rotation,” Langkilde said.

Langkilde showed some receiving skills with his touchdown in Thursday’s situational scrimmage.

“I’m trying to be an all-around fullback,” Langkilde said. “Just being able to catch is another weapon.”
