The University of Hawaii football team filled one of its immediate needs with a commitment from a defensive lineman from Eastern Arizona (junior) College.

Kendall Hune told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he will join the Rainbow Warriors this summer, and have two years to play two UH seasons.

“As soon as I got the opportunity, I committed,” Hune said. “I like the coaching staff. They’ve been real professional.”

Hune and his father visited Hawaii this past weekend.

“I loved it,” Hune said. “It was great. That was my first time in Hawaii. It was all good to see what you’re working with the next two years.”

Hune is 6 feet 3 inches tall and 285 pounds. He is expected to play the 3-technique (across the gap between the guard and tackle) at UH.

Hune was born in St. Louis and moved to Indiana in the sixth grade. He redshirted as a freshman at the University of Toledo in 2015. He left after a semester, then worked and took some classes at Marian University in Indianapolis before enrolling at Eastern Arizona in January 2017.
