The glory, the fame, the record breaking numbers, two years ago it was all his for the taking.

Tyler Graunke was Hawaii's next quarterback, but instead of sealing the legacy. He watched from the bench as Colt Brennan became Colt Brennan.

To this day, he continues to wait his turn.

The glory, the fame, the record breaking numbers, two years ago it was all his for the taking.

Tyler Graunke was Hawaii's next quarterback, but instead of sealing the legacy. He watched from the bench as Colt Brennan became Colt Brennan.

To this day, he continues to wait his turn.

As fate has it, Greg McMackin is back on UH's staff.

In the seven years he's been gone, McMackin's walked the sidelines at Texas Tech and made a coaching stop with the San Francisco 49ers.

But McMackin feels most at home with the Warriors.

Afterall he's the man who June Jones originally hired to lead Hawaii's defense.

One's a self-proclaimed mama's boy.

The other lived a much tougher life on the streets of Oakland.

But despite their differences Ryan Grice-Mullen and Davone Bess have forged an unbreakable bond and an unstoppable force out on the field.

He came to Hawaii to be a receiver. His 4.4 speed, shifty footwork and sure hands made him a perfect fit.

But the Warriors needed him on defense and CJ Hawthorne couldn't say no, filling in for the good of the team.

Now he's back at his natural spot, catching on and catching touchdowns in June Jones offense.
He's Hawaii's newest offensive threat.

When you hear how Jacob Patek ended up at UH, you can't help but think it was destiny.

Sure, he had dreams of playing college football, but Hawaii wasn't really on his map for division one destinations.

In fact the defensive back was pretty much signed, sealed and delivered somewhere else.

But he believes that was all just part of a journey that was intended for him all along.
