Micah Kaonohi-Kaihenui is Hawaii’s glue guy at tight end — a gritty, academic, special-teams value play
In the 2025 season, Micah Kaonohi-Kaihenui played in 11 games on special teams for Hawaii, and in 2026 he’s been described as a senior slot blocker with an expanded role. The 5-foot-11, 250-pound Waimanalo native isn’t a box-score monster, but that’s the point: he brings toughness, assignment discipline, and blue-collar value as a blocking TE/slot piece. He also earned academic All-Mountain West recognition and was named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list for service, academics, and athletics — the kind of steady, selfless player coaches love.
