About Malakai

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm quiet and allow others to talk. I let my skills on the field speak for me. My gameplay is not only developed from practice, but when I put in work on my own. I learn plays quick and I read the offense and defense to make a play or prevent a play from taking place. I'm physical, intense, and intelligent. A Coachable Utility Player experienced playing Edge, TE, RB, and QB.

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

In my mind, nothing is given...its all earned. I put in the work no matter what I'm doing. Whether it's school, practice, conditioning, football, learning, Listening, developing, taking care of myself, I keep the course and minimize distractions from my goals God and Family are important to me without them, I would have nothing. I like to have fun and enjoy being with my friends/teammates.

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

Not at this time

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

I'm learning to be a leader by watching those who are leaders and are experienced. I take the opportunity to lead when I can and definitely lead by example. Teamwork makes a team solid and allows them to meet and exceed goals. Its important when part of a group school project, on the football field, and any other time a group needs to work together.

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

One of my biggest challenges was change. I'm from Hawaii where I started playing football. My parents decided to move at the end of my 6th grade year where I spent the last 2 months in a new school and new area. This also came with finding a new football team that summer and trying to meet new friends and earn a position to play the sport I love. Being seen, showing my hard work on the field.

What type of college are you looking for?

My goal is to be part of a D1 college/university. I'm a student athlete so I want a college that will not only challenge me but will help me increase my knowledge and build my education. In addition, I want to bring my talent to a college team, earn the opportunity to develop and maximize my skill, continue to play the game I love...Football, and lead me down the path to continuously level up!

Malakai Valenzuela Malakai Valenzuela Malakai Valenzuela 5'7" | 175 lbs | EDGE NV has the twitchiness to really get off the line with explosiveness. He wastes no motion, and it was evident that he’s a very fluid athlete for a DL. He also gave great effort in every drill that I watched and went toe to toe with some truly big guys. Beyond his performance in the skills portion, he had solid numbers in testing, running a 5.26 40 (good for 18th), and he had a 5.17 time in the Pro Shuttle (good for 28th).
