USU football: Third-generation Aggie KJ Uluave finds balance between football, schooling and family

KJ Uluave bleeds Aggie blue.

His parents, Benjamin Uluave and Kimberli Redman, both graduated from Utah State, as well as his grandparents on his mom’s side. In fact, he lived in Logan while his parents were going to school.

“I started preschool there, then we moved to Hawaii after they graduated,” said Uluave, who was actually born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but grew up in Laie, Hawaii. “Most people don’t know that we are true Aggies through and through. You’d never know it because we come from Hawaii.”

When Uluave was offered a scholarship to play football at Utah State, the Kahuku High School standout did not pass up on the opportunity.
