Kamehameha Schools Maui senior Frank Kahoa Abreu was among 14 prospects to join the University of Hawaii football team’s Class of 2024 during the early signing period, which began Wednesday.

Abreu, the Warriors’ all-time receiving leader with more than 2,000 yards in his career, had 26 catches for 463 yards and seven touchdowns in five and a half games this season. His senior campaign was cut short after he suffered a partially torn posterior ligament in his left knee during Kamehameha Maui’s regular-season finale against King Kekaulike on Oct. 27.

Abreu, who was on Oahu on Wednesday with the Warriors’ basketball team as they compete in the Iolani Classic, is listed at 200 pounds and 6-foot-4. He is set to move to tight end, a position he is looking forward to embracing.

“Oh, really excited, man. I’m just grateful I can continue my football career and having a good time,” he told The Maui News last month.

Abreu is among seven UH signees from Hawaii, joining Punahou linebacker Alika Cavaco-Amoy and offensive lineman Tu’i Muti, Campbell defensive end Nazaiah Caravallo and offensive lineman Joshua Tavui, Kamehameha Kapalama defensive end Tristan Waiamau-Galindo and Saint Louis defensive end Noah Wily.

Among other notable UH signees include quarterback Micah Alejado, a native of Ewa Beach who led Las Vegas powerhouse Bishop Gorman to a MaxPreps national title in 2023 and threw for 9,233 yards and 125 TDs in his career, and Nevada transfer Dion Washington, a defensive lineman who appeared in 27 games for the Wolf Pack and was among the Mountain West’s top-graded interior linemen.
