Junior Fiaui is a long, ascending Hawaii linebacker with real recruiting pedigree
Junior Fiaui, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound sophomore linebacker for Hawaiʻi in the 2026 season, brings legit length, a strong recruiting profile as a former 3-star and the No. 173 linebacker nationally, and early on-the-field flashes after appearing in games in 2025.[1][6] He redshirted in 2024, then logged a tackle in 2025, so the arrow is pointing up rather than sideways.[4][13] Why care? He fits the mold of a modern, rangy LB who can grow into more production; the current fit is best for a team that values upside, patience, and development over instant-star stats.[1][13]
