local Hawai‘i linebacker with a redshirt runway
Costales is a **5'11", 220-pound** redshirt freshman linebacker for Hawai‘i who arrived from Wai‘anae High as a four-sport athlete and has not yet appeared in a college game, so the appeal is upside more than production right now.[1][2][3] The differentiator is his local background and developmental profile: he was a multi-sport prep player, stayed on the roster through a redshirt year, and fits as an in-state, physical LB build with room to grow into a role if he translates that athletic base to the college level.[1][12]
