Part of the Warriors’ football future will be shaped this month. The Warriors are expected to bring in up to 32 recruits for visits, beginning with eight recruiting visits this weekend. The NFL will be a coincidental partner in UH’s recruiting. The Warriors will bring in the most recruits on the Jan. 25-27 weekend. The NFL has announced it will have a pro combine at UH on Jan. 25. The Pro Bowl is scheduled for Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium. […]

Former UH defensive back Richard Torres was set to become a Warrior graduate assistant this semester. It was a natural fit. Torres was a 140-pound walk-on from Kahuku High who improved his strength and skills to become a UH team captain.

Torres said he will compete in […]
