Larkdight Studios Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors' Program Rebuild (Season 1) July 31, 2025 5:00PM CST

The Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors enter the Off-Season Program in the best place they have finished at in quite some time. Now, they didn't go and win a National Championship in their first season like you've seen in other rebuilds I've done, but finishing with an impressive 12-2 record is no small feat. Especially when you had a MWC Championship and a Bowl game win in, this Rainbow Warriors squad looks poised to continue ascending under their young HC Manti Te'o. They are losing a lot of core pieces going into next season, including WR Steven McBride, WR Koali Nishigaya, T Luke Felix-Fualalo, DT Ezra Evaimalo, CB Cam Stone, CB Devyn King, CB Virdel Edards II, and S Meki Pei, but they do return some great pieces that are only going to get better with more experience in guys like QB QB Micah Alejado, RB Cam Barfield and RB Pellam Liu, TE Devon Tauaefa, DT Dion Washington, LB Jalen Smith, and LB Jamih Otis. It will be interesting to see how well HC Manti Te'o can navigate his first-ever Transfer Portal. Let's get into the Rainbow Warrior's official 2025 Off-Season program!
