Classic UH linebacker built on speed, instincts, and range
In the 2004 season, Ikaika Curnan was described as Hawaii’s leading tackler and one of the Warriors’ most dependable defenders, with standout speed, instincts, and range that helped offset his modest size. He also brought real pedigree from St. Louis School, where he was a USA Today All-American after posting 97 total tackles and 7 sacks as a senior. The appeal here is simple: he looks like a tone-setting, high-motor linebacker who can erase mistakes, rally the defense, and bring leadership—very much a “football player” fit for a team that values production plus intangibles.
