Twitter is the place where at least 11 Hawaii High School football players have posted that they have received offers to play football at Washington State.

The 11 we know are: Kahuku linebacker Fale Atuaia, offensive linemen Filivaa Saluni and Vaea Ikakoula, defensive backs Aiden Manutai and Madden Soliai, linebacker Maximum Fonoimoana and receiver Kaimana Carvalho, Mililani quarterback Treston McMillan and linebacker Elijah Nua, and Kapolei quarterback Liatama Amisone and defensive end Zaiden Wallace.

Offers will likely continue to flood in from many colleges for those Hawaii players who are younger than the Class of 2023, like those mentioned above.
