PREREGISTER TO PLAY

No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See Official Rules for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Relentless motor when attacking from the second level or even on the edge. Aggressive athlete when coming downhill from either level with some pop on contact. Above-average play diagnosing ability with minimal wasted movement in transitioning versus the run. Flashes patience, scraping potential within responsibility while in the box. 

Polish: Naturally plays a bit high and uses speed to power to get through blockers at the prep level. Improved hand technique, particularly to disengage from offensive linemen, would increase his success rate in the box as well as tackle volume. Minimal coverage snaps available but awareness and length suggest solid ceiling athletically. 

Bottom Line: Ho’ohui is an aggressive inside linebacker prospect who works best downhill. He navigates the wash well while displaying the frame and pop to rack up dozens of tackles in the process. As he physically matures and gets in more reps in coverage, could blossom into three-down prospect at the next level.
