Hawaii's Explosive Local RB with Untapped Potential
Dayton Furuta, a Mililani, HI native and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors RB, exploded for 526 rushing yards and 3 TDs on 106 carries (5.0 avg) in the 2019 season, showcasing breakaway speed and versatility as a high school QB-turned-runner with 260 yards and 6 TDs. An early-season injury sidelined him after a strong 42-yard, 1-TD debut vs. Arizona, limiting recent visibility, but his local intensity, multi-tool skillset, and elusiveness make him a dynamic fit for teams needing a resilient, Pacific Islands grinder ready to reclaim stardom.
