About Keaunui

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style is aggressive, physical, and versatile—I love attacking the line of scrimmage and disrupting plays before they even get going. As a hybrid player splitting time between linebacker and defensive end, I’m at my best when I’m exploding off the edge to set the edge against the run, blowing up blockers, and chasing down ball carriers with high motor and pursuit.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m a high-energy, ultra-competitive dude who hates losing more than I love winning. On the field, I’m locked in, intense, and vocal—I’m the guy hyping up my teammates, calling out adjustments, and bringing that contagious fire to the whole defense. I play with a chip on my shoulder every snap, like I have something to prove, because I always feel like I do.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

This offseason, I’m stepping onto the wrestling mat for the first time, and I’m pumped about how it’s going to level up my game as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end. Wrestling is hands-down one of the best cross-training sports for football, especially for guys like me who live in the trenches—exploding off the line, shedding blockers, setting the edge, and wrapping up ball carriers.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve developed strong leadership, teamwork, and community service skills that make me a well-rounded player colleges value. As a vocal leader on defense, I break down huddles, make pre-snap calls, hype up teammates, hold guys accountable, and mentor younger players on technique and film study while leading by example with relentless effort.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes, I’ve faced challenges like every player chasing the next level, and they’ve made me stronger and more resilient. 2 seasons ago, I dealt with a nagging ankle injury that sidelined me for a few games—it was frustrating missing time and watching from the sideline, but I attacked rehab every day, stayed locked in on film study to keep my football IQ sharp, and came back even more explosive.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m really prioritizing the right school fit and the right defensive scheme where I can thrive as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end and make an immediate impact.
