The University of Hawaii football program has targeted all of the state's top-rated recruits in the class of 2025. Several are still uncommitted, but one looks to be off the board.

6'3" 200-pound linebacker Max Fonoimoana, the #3 overall recruit in the state of Hawaii per 247Sports, announced his commitment to the University of Utah over the weekend.
