Air Force RB Sylas Maiava-Alaimalo brings proven Hawaiian production and a physical, versatile running style
Maiava-Alaimalo is an intriguing Air Force back because he arrives with real production from Damien High School, where he authored multiple big-yardage games and was recognized as an all-state caliber runner in Hawaii. Listed at 5-9, 195, he fits the Academy’s need for compact, tough downhill runners who can handle contact and stay efficient in a run-heavy system. He did not see game action in 2025, so his college impact remains a projection, but his high-school résumé suggests burst, balance, and competitive edge.
