Justin Vele brings old-school Hawaiʻi toughness at fullback/TE
In the 2015 season, Justin Vele was a 6-foot, 240-pound fullback/tight end for Hawaiʻi with limited box-score production but real utility as a physical, versatile piece; over his Hawaiʻi career he logged 7 carries for 19 yards and 16 catches for 94 yards, plus 1 receiving touchdown[1][11]. His value is less about headline stats and more about role: he was used as a lead blocker, short-yardage option, and hybrid FB/TE, which is exactly the kind of gritty, team-first profile that can stabilize an offense’s run game and special situations[1][3].
