Ikaika Malloe got us back into the 808 State with a strong DT addition out of his own alma mater, Kamehameha-Kapalama. 247’s Composite lists Kuao Peihopa as a 3-star recruit and ranks him as the #34 DT and the #4 recruit out of Hawaii, but while his recruiting hype hasn’t made the headlines, Peihopa’s tape and measureables make me think we might have found a diamond in the rough. Between his stout 6-3, 285 lb frame, and his natural quickness, power, and developing technique, he has the build to develop into a stout member of our DT rotation.
Officially a DAWG!
