2016 Hawaii Football Recruiting: Max Hendrie officially signs with Hawaii

The versatile Aussie athlete will provide much intrigue come spring practice.

The Rainbow Warrior connection down under remains strong, as the team lands a talented player from Australia. Max Hendrie officially committed to the Hawaii Warriors program on February 2nd.
