Bishop Gorman’s Ikem Okeke says it all during the NIAA State Championship Football Game between the Bishop Gorman Gaels and Reed Raiders at Damonte Ranch High on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014, in Reno.
Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 | 6:33 a.m.
Bishop Gorman High linebacker Ikem Okeke took to Twitter Saturday night to announce his commitment to the Hawaii football program.
The 6 foot, 200-pound Okeke had 42 tackles (three for a loss), one sack and one interception in 2015 for the Gaels' mythical national championship squad.
He picked Hawaii over an offer from Montana State.
Also Saturday, Desert Pines center Natron Auelua-Naki verbally committed to Morehouse State, and Moapa Valley linebacker Trystin Deal committed to NAIA Eastern Oregon University. Auelua-Naki also had offers from Kentucky Wesleyan and Southern.
National signing day is Wednesday, and both Desert Pines and Gorman have more players expected to sign — Sam Poutasi (Oregon) and Anthony Smith (Colorado State) from Desert Pines, and Gorman's Jaron Caldwell and Julio Garcia II to UNLV.
