Expert Analysis
Alan Popadines | Prep Redzone Scout
Any time I come across a prospect from Hawaii it excites me a bit more than usual, because in addition to identifying a good player, I feel I’m also helping show kids on the mainland that the talent is everywhere. Defensive Back Tyson Wailehua fits that bill today. The future King Kula Kiʻekiʻe prospect looks to be a name to know in Hawaii recruiting circles, as he has already been on a game day visit to the Rainbow Warriors. While he displays pretty good coverage skills like a corner, this kid is a safety all the way, in my eyes. Already shows to have a good grasp on the touch between coming downhill to attack, versus playing softer and understanding his role. At this level, doesn’t show any hesitation to help out against the run. Also has the necessary innate timing to stay on the good side between great pass break up and pass interference. Lastly, has quantified experience in the return game on the pre-high school level.
