Breiden Fehoko
Defensive Tackle, Farrington

Scouting report: Fehoko was a magnet for attention from offensive linemen all season long, double- and triple-teamed inside. When he got one-on-one opportunities, he often exploded into the backfield and disrupted offenses.

Fun fact: For fun, Fehoko and his older brothers trained in the offseason with their father, Vili, by flipping giant tires, pulling trucks and running hills.

Rex Manu
Defensive Tackle, Mililani

Scouting report: Tremendous motor, never stops until the whistle blows. Explosive off the snap and often double-teamed, opening up the pass-rushing lanes for teammates. Mililani collected 22 interceptions, much of it due to Manu’s work in the trenches. He is a commit to Oregon.

Fun fact: Manu loves his father’s home cooking, especially laulau and palusami, a dish made from corned beef, taro leaves and coconut milk.

Ronald Matautia
Linebacker, Kapolei

Scouting report: The middle linebacker amassed 98 tackles, including 24 for loss with eight sacks and six forced fumbles. He also was a key part of the offense as a situational running back.

Fun fact: Matautia has been competing in MMA-style competition since at least 2006.

Canton Kaumatule
Defensive End, Punahou

Scouting report: The towering defensive end endured growing pains at a very young age, and injuries hampered his sophomore and junior seasons. Still, he has matured and progressed with work in the weight room and on the field. Kaumatule committed to Oregon.

Fun fact: Older brother Luke plays for Stanford and younger brother Falcon is an up-and-coming two-sport star at Punahou.

Mika Tafua
Defensive End, Kamehameha

Scouting report: At 238 pounds, Tafua is just beginning to fill out, a linebacker/defensive end with agility and strength with an intriguing future. He plays hard no matter the score, down to the final play. Against ILH champion Punahou, he lined up at DE and MLB.

Fun fact: Tafua has visited Oregon, USC and Colorado, and will make a trip to Washington. He remains, however, committed to BYU and will visit Provo last.

Ty Apana-Purcell
Cornerback, Mililani

Scouting report: The first-year starter at CB wound up making two huge plays in the state championship game against Punahou. He returned an interception 83 yards for a TD, and in the final minute, stripped the ball from Punahou RB Wayne Taulapapa near the goal line to secure the Trojans’ first state title.

Fun fact: He converted from wide receiver to cornerback in the offseason. QB McKenzie Milton described Apana-Purcell as a receiver with great hands.

Alohi Gilman
Cornerback, Kahuku

Scouting report: His skill at the corner solidified an outstanding Kahuku defense that permitted just 13 points and 181 yards per game.

Fun fact: Gilman, a versatile playmaker, was also an elite kick returner and saw time as a deep threat at wide receiver. He caught a TD pass in the Life Champion Senior Bowl.

Saitui Moea’i
Linebacker, Punahou

Scouting report: The Buffanblu defense was aggressive, designed to give athletic playmakers such as Moea’i every chance to make big stops. The outside ‘backer prospered in the system. Moea’i plans to go on a two-year LDS mission after graduation.

Fun fact: He is one of several Hawaii players who will play in the annual Samoa Bowl.

Manaia Atuaia
Linebacker, Kahuku

Scouting report: The relentless tackling machine wearing No. 31 was a pillar of the Kahuku defense, a unit that was arguably the best in the state. He was also a stellar performer on special teams and blocked a punt against McKinley.

Fun fact: Manaia is a nephew of legendary Kahuku running back Mark Atuaia.

Salanoa-Alo Wily
Utility, Kahuku

Scouting report: His high school career began as a 260-pound running back at Kamehameha, but when he transferred to his neighborhood school, he embraced life in the trenches. His toughness, explosiveness and durability made him a major factor in Kahuku’s superb defensive unit. As a 270-pound senior, his successful return to running back reinvigorated the Red Raiders, who reached the state semifinals. He is a commit to Hawaii.

Fun fact: Wily is considering graphic arts as a major.

Solomon Matautia
Safety, Campbell

Scouting report: He burst on the scene with a spectacular junior season as a big-play safety who also returned punts and kickoffs with the threat of scoring every time he touched the football. He gained muscle and weight as a senior, becoming a defensive back with the body of a linebacker while making key plays for one of the state’s top defenses.

Fun fact: Matautia is easy to find on the field. He’s the player with the longest hair, reminiscent of Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu.

Keala Santiago
Safety, Kahuku

Scouting report: Sound, reliable safety, one of the key assets to a dominant Kahuku defense that held a normally potent Mililani offense to just 20 points in the state tourney. Santiago really stood out on special teams, though, as one of the state’s swiftest and most breathtaking kick and punt returners.

Fun fact: His father, Walter, played defensive back for the University of Hawaii.

Rod York
Coach, Mililani
