FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas defensive end Mataio Soli announced his transfer destination on Sunday.

In a post to his Twitter account, Soli stated his commitment to Hawaii, a member of the Mountain West Conference. The son of Razorback great Junior Soli, he announced his intent to transfer from the Razorbacks on April 6.

Hawaii finished the 2021 season at 6-7 overall and 3-5 in conference games. The Rainbow Warriors allowed 31.4 points per game.

Soli, who ran with the third-team defense in practices he attended this spring, dealt with a number of injuries during his college career, including what appeared to be a minor leg injury in one of his final workouts in April.
