Tausili Akana Up To 34 D-I FBS Offers; Bedrock Sports’ Recruiting Update For Classes Of 2022, 2023

When football season is on in the fall, typically the recruiting stories take a back seat to the game stories.

But there has been some movement since the last time Bedrock Sports Hawaii updated fans in the 808 on the latest Division I FBS college football recruiting news.

That last time was Aug. 3. It’s now Oct. 27, and here’s the latest:

>> Tausili Akana, Class of 2023, a linebacker who played his freshman year at Kamehameha, his sophomore year at Wasatch (Utah) and is now playing at Skyridge (Utah), added four more offers and is up to 34 total. The newest offers are from the cream of college football programs — Auburn, Georgia, Miami and Texas.

Tausili Akana has 34 Division I FBS offers. (Image credit: 247sports.com).

>> Tavo Motuapuaka, Class of 2022, a Mililani offensive lineman, committed to Utah. He also added an offer from UNLV.
