Kahai was one of our top newcomers to the last rankings update at the beginning of the 2023 season but has since moved up to our top 20 overall prospects after jumping over 30 spots. Showed great year over year improvement during his junior campaign that saw him collect his first D1 offer and voted to the PRZ All-Northwest team. He’s continued to add weight now at 6’0” 180 lbs. Possesses exceptional natural athleticism with good all-around speed and quickness. He’s effective in press man or zone coverage and can lock down opposing team’s top target. Plays with good pad level and leverage and is smooth transitioning from his backpedal to his breaks. Excels in short area acceleration allowing him to recover and close separation with the ball in the air. Finished the season with five interceptions and 13 PBU’s. West Virginia offered in December but is still under recruited. Expect it to pick up as the recruiting cycle progresses.

1 Offer: West Virginia

Kahai is a 6’0” 175 lb. corner that is under recruited given his natural coverage ability and potential. A gifted athlete that shows great body control, lateral agility, and burst. He’s smooth in the hips and plays with good pad level and leverage allowing him to quickly change directions and transition out of his backpedal and into his break. Really like his short area acceleration and his ability to recover and close space in coverage. Possesses a strong and sustained second gear to be rangy and cover all three levels of the field. Plus ball skills, he shows good ball judgement and hands at the catch point. Has been lockdown on the outside for Kennedy Catholic this year with four interceptions and 10 PBU’s. No offers yet but his recruitment is building and is getting attention from several D1 programs.
