Ex-University of Hawaii LB in Hawaii as ambassador for Rams

Former Rams linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa, current safety John Johnson III and the team’s cheerleaders will be in Honolulu this weekend to help promote the Aug. 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys at Aloha Stadium.

The Rams game and community events are included in a partnership with the sponsoring Hawaii Tourism Authority.

Tinoisamoa, who played for the University of Hawaii (2000-02) and was a second-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2003, will visit Farrington High School on Friday at 10 a.m. to host a Cleats for Character session with the school’s varsity football program, the Rams announced.

The Rams will donate football cleats worn by their players to students. Tinoisamoa and Rams representatives also will “lead participants in discussions about the values of good character, the importance of goal setting, and the transferable life skills that can be attained through sports,” the team said.

On Friday (1 to 5 p.m.) and Saturday (9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) at ‘Iolani School, the Rams will host 7-on-7 Passing & Big Man Championships featuring 300 students from eight public high schools across the state. Johnson and Tinoisamoa are scheduled to make appearances throughout the championships.

The Rams cheerleaders will host 300 youths (grades K-12) for a Cheer Camp at ‘Iolani School on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

On Sunday, Johnson will participate in a variety of activities, including stand-up paddleboarding in Waikiki.
