Assistant coaches Nick Rolovich and Gordy Shaw will call the offensive plays for the Warriors, UH head coach Greg McMackin said. McMackin said Ron Lee will remain as the offensive coordinator. But it was “mutually agreed” that Lee wanted to focus on the receivers. The Warriors have been without a receiver coach since graduate assistant Craig Stutzmann accepted a job at Portland State in July. “Ron Lee will always be my offensive coordinator,” McMackin said, noting Lee called the winning […]

When asked about being placed on the injured reserve list, Colt Brennan told the Warrior Beat: “I’m good, buddy.” Brennan will learn this week whether his torn labrum will require surgery. He said his MRI results have been sent to a specialist. He also has a hamstring injury. By being on IR, Brennan is not allowed to play this season. But he remains on the roster, and receives $445,000, the minimum salary for a second-year player who entered the league […]
David Katina, a defensive end/linebacker from American Samoa, said he has accepted a football scholarship from the Warriors. Katina is 6 feet 2 and 220 pounds. His father is David Katina Sr., a pastor and musician, and his siblings are the musical group the Katina Brothers, based in Tennessee.

• While Fetaiagogo Fonoti has declared himself physically fit for tomorrow’s season opener, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he is held out of the game. He hasn’t had a full practice in more than a week — he did not attend yesterday’s practice because of a swelling in his left knee — and he is much needed for the ensuing two-game, 11-day road trip. Besides, Liko Satele has played well in recent practices. Fonoti most likely will be used […]
