DE/OLB Jeremy Castro is looking into the possibility of pursuing a medical retirement. Castro has not practiced or played since suffering a back injury against San Diego State the past October. He had played in six games in 2015, including a start at Ohio State, when he amassed five solo tackles. If the medical retirement is solidified, UH is agreeable to paying for Castro’s two remaining years needed to earn a bachelor’s degree. As a Vista Murrietta (Calif.) High senior […]

Cole Brownholtz of Sierra College will be the Warriors’ fourth quarterback addition since the end of spring training. Brownholtz is a nice match because: 1) Sierra ran the “Air Raid” offense that has many concepts of the four-wide offense the Warriors utilized from 1999 through 2011, and 2) Nick Rolovich has kept tabs on Brownholtz since June 2014, when Brownholtz attended Nevada’s football camp for high school players. Rolovich was Nevada’s offensive coordinator at the time. UH also was able […]

Kennedy Tulimasealii’s dismissal from the Warriors does not end the story of a talented (and popular) player who made bad decisions. “This was the first round,” said his attorney, Michael Green, who will appeal the dismissal. To consider: > On June 14, Tulimasealii pleaded no contest, with a motion for deferral, to six criminal charges stemming from four separate incidents over a two-month period. Three of the charges were misdemeanors and two were petty misdemeanors. It was the lone felony […]

Today is the first day of college for 14 first-year Warriors. They are enrolled in UH’s so-called “bridge” program — two three-credit classes that will enable the newcomers to acclimate to college life and earn a jump start in accumulating credits toward a degree. Many of the other newcomers are enrolled in Summer Session II, which begins July 5. Leo Koloamatangi is an example of a player benefitting from the bridge program and the ensuing summer sessions. Koloamatangi, who exited […]

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh knows his audience. For today’s clinic at Saint Louis School, Harbaugh wore the jersey of the Crusaders’ most decorated football alumnus. “I bought it from a street vendor in L.A. yesterday,” Harbaugh said of his Titans-blue Mariota jersey. There were more than 250 participants at the clinics, in which the Michigan, UH and Saint Louis coaches served as instructors. * * * * * From yesterday’s training at Schofield Barracks: * * * * *

The Warriors will take their offseason workouts to another level during today’s training at Schofield Barracks. The Warriors will split into two units — offense and defense — and take turns participating in exercises at two training areas. Told about the forecast of rain, head coach Nick Rolovich said: “I hope it does rain.” We’ll post pictures later.

From the recently completed Kauai tour came this realization: There are 10 season-ticket holders on the Garden Island. That’s impressive because Hawaiian Airlines’ last HNL-to-LIH flight departs at 9:35 p.m., meaning attendees have to stay overnight on Oahu. * * * * * Seventeen years after his death, Alexander Cooke Waterhouse is one of the football program’s top supporters. The Waterhouse Foundation’s annual contributions pay for the summer scholarships. This year, parts of those contributions — through Na Koa, the […]
