Will Becker

Prep Redzone Scout

Kahekili Pa’ao’ao is the second UNLV commit in this article. The explosive athlete also has scholarship offers from Hawaii, Colorado State, BYU, Arizona, Washington State, and the University of Nevada. Watch for more FBS schools to try and persuade Kahekili to leave Las Vegas before his high school career is over.

Kahekili shows a rare combination of instincts and power attacking the line of scrimmage and exploding through tackles before ball carriers have a chance to enter the neutral zone. Awareness gets further displayed in zone coverage, but Kahekili’s fluid change of direction allows him to redirect quickly and make plays on the ball when his zone is targeted. Good closing speed shows turning failed blitzes into sacks when quarterbacks attempt to turn scrambles into positive gains. Kahekili’s great combination of speed, instincts, and power project him to either inside linebacker spot at the next level.
