Four-star LB Wynden Ho’ohuli commits to NU from beach in Hawaii, says ‘I’m proud to be a Cornhusker’ | Recruiting



“My mindset is recruiting kids with Polynesian ties is we want to make sure we bring the right kids into the program and into the building,” Tuioti said during a radio appearance last month. “Obviously a lot of them like to stay on the West Coast but there are some where we’re doing a pretty good job building relationships like with any other culture, any other families we’re trying to recruit.”

Of course, even so, Hawaii is an awfully long way from Nebraska, particularly during a global pandemic that has kept high school recruits from visiting campuses officially or unofficially since mid-March. That didn’t stop Tuioti from behing able to gain traction in Hawaii and with Ho’ohuli.

“The great thing I love about being here at Nebraska, especially with Coach Frost is this is a family atmosphere,” Tuioti said. “Faith, family and football is very important in this building, so it aligns with a lot of the Polynesian families’ culture back home …

“So I think there’s some kids who are liking the culture we’ve got going on … and just like anything else, once we land one, the pipeline is established and we’ll continue to try to build on that.”

Ho’ohuli is the 21st known member of Nebraska’s 2021 class. The Huskers signed 19 high school players back in December and also have a graduate transfer in Northern Iowa linebacker Chris Kolarevic in the fold.
