<p>Hawaii is a state that I always wish I had an opportunity to see, find and/or evaluate more prospect's in. The reality of the situation is that it's quite the trip to get out there to see the pre-high school talent. Fortunately, with social media and film getting, a look at these prospects is becoming at least <em>a little bit</em> easier. For the majority of the class of 2027 athletes, they will be getting their first taste of high school ball in just a few short weeks. Prep Redzone Next is here to help shine a light on some of the freshmen to know about in Hawaii this upcoming season.</p>

<p>Not all will play varsity right away, and some of the athletes below may have already peaked athletically in football. On the other hand, there may be (probably will be) glaring omissions from the list below–and that's the beauty of it. <strong>This is a Watchlist </strong>based off athletes we have either <strong>watched</strong> on film or seen in person during their pre-high school careers.</p>
