Micah Alejado

There's a lot of hype around Alejado heading into the season, despite him making just one start as a true freshman. With Brayden Schager injured, Alejado burst onto the scene with a 469-yard, five-touchdown performance in Hawaii's season finale against New Mexico, completing 37 of his 57 passes. Alejado, a former three-star recruit out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, should be set up for success in the Warriors' air-raid offense with top wideouts Pofele Ashlock and Nick Cenacle both returning in 2025. Hawaii's propensity for throwing the football under head coach Timmy Chang is well-established at this point - they threw the ball on 60.5 percent of their offensive plays last season, the fourth-highest rate in the nation. Alejado also demonstrated some rushing ability in his lone start, tallying 54 yards on 10 carries. Read Past Outlooks
