Brandon Gaea brings size, pedigree, and local upside to Hawai‘i’s receiver room
Brandon Gaea is a 2026 freshman wide receiver for Hawai‘i who arrives with legit recruiting buzz: a consensus three-star prospect, the No. 2 wide receiver and No. 20 overall player in Hawai‘i in the 247 Composite, and a 6-foot, 190-pound frame that gives him boundary upside. He also flashed versatility in 2024 at Mililani with 12 catches for 161 yards, a touchdown, and an interception on defense. Why care? He looks like a developmental playmaker with physicality, two-way competitiveness, and room to grow into a reliable fit for a team that wants length and toughness at receiver.
