Hawaii Senior Paul Andrew Rhoden Ready For What’s Next

One guy we covered in 2011 and again in 2012 is Running Back Paul Andrew Rhoden out of James Campbell High School. He was a stand out at the Nike Football Training Camp and looked as good as anyone there.

Hawaii Senior Paul Andrew Rhoden Ready For What’s Next

We began our coverage of the boys of Hawaii this season mainly because the Hawaiian’s have been influencing Northwest Football since they began coming here to play in the 1970’s.  The fierceness these boys play with is something very real and the love they have for the game is awesome!

We consider our Coaching friends and connections in the State of Hawaii to be strong and appreciate all they have done to help our kids here in the Northwest.  Therefore we consider Hawaii a big part of the Northwest Prep Sports Family.

6'0" - 205 Pound Paul Andrew Rhoden is a terrific athlete worth a serious look.

6’0″ – 205 Pound Paul Andrew Rhoden is a terrific athlete worth a serious look.

One guy we covered in 2011 and again in 2012 is Running Back Paul Andrew Rhoden out of James Campbell High School.  He was a stand out at the Nike Football Training Camp and looked as good as anyone there.  His stats in 2012 were solid although not eye popping.

But look at his numbers in terms of what he brings to the field.   Rhoden is a power back at 205 pounds, runs a 10.6 second 100 Meter, and he has a 3.79 GPA.  That 10.6 makes him one of the 3 or 4 fastest guys in the West and we saw that develop at the Academic All American Game last month at Lewis and Clark where he racked up some big yards helping team Hawaii win.

He is worth a look in our view and we believe he can play at the 1AA level at least.  Another great kid from the State of Hawaii.
