UH center Ulu-Perry will miss spring football practice
STAR-ADVERTISER
Fred Ulu-Perry Jr. with parents, Fitu Perry and Fred Perry Sr. after signing a letter of intent in Feb. 2015. Ulu-Perry will not participate in the University of Hawaii football team’s upcoming spring training because of medical and personal issues.
Offensive lineman Fred Ulu-Perry will not participate in the University of Hawaii football team’s upcoming spring training because of medical and personal issues.
Ulu-Perry, who was projected to compete for the starting center’s job, remains on the roster as a scholarship player, is attending classes and is in good academic standing with the school. Ulu-Perry told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser last week he hopes to resume workouts with the Rainbow Warriors this summer.
As a Saint Louis School senior in 2015, Ulu-Perry was rated as ESPN.com’s No. 1 guard and Scout.com’s No. 1 center.
He signed with UCLA in February 2015. He played in eight games that season as an offensive guard, short-yardage runner and defensive tackle. But he left the Bruins twice that year because of personal reasons — for three games in September 2015 and for good following that Thanksgiving weekend.
After requesting — and receiving — a scholarship release, Ulu-Perry signed a scholarship agreement with the Warriors in December 2015, becoming Nick Rolovich’s first recruit as UH head coach. Rolovich was hired in late November 2015.
At the time, Ulu-Perry said, “I felt my heart was always here.”

take care of yourself first, football 2nd
Come back physically and mentally strong. Go Warriors !!!
Looks like a repeat of problems from when at UCLA??
nope
Take care of #1 – yourself. If you want to play football, then ok, we want you. FUP! Go Warriors!
Hope he recovers his full health. Not because he “plays” football but because I care about him as a human being and fellow UH student.
Good to hear some news about him as I’ve been worried. Good that’s he’s still in school and in good standings as well. Personal issues can be tough, just hope he can overcome them and get back to doing what he loves. Whether that may be through football or school, at least he’s here at home where he has the support.
Get well. Rainbow Warrior blood!
At this stage and point in his life Health & Academics come first … Glad he is in good standing grade wise now hoping for a 100% comeback w/ his health … See you in Summer Camp FUP …
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS !!!!!
