Hazyn Botelho is a versatile Hawaii freshman with real edge and a comeback story
In the 2026 season, Hazyn Botelho enters Hawaii as a freshman QB after starring at Kamehameha Schools-Kapalama as both a receiver and quarterback, which gives him unusual versatility for a college signal-caller. He was an All-ILH first-team receiver in 2025 and helped push his team to the state title game, while Hawaii coach Timmy Chang has praised him as a dynamic player who can operate in multiple roles. His biggest differentiator is toughness: after a right-shoulder injury in high school shifted his path, he kept producing and earned a Polynesian Bowl invite.
