Raised to be humble and hard working, Rylen Kaniaupio doesn’t mind grinding from the ground up at Ottawa University, which is starting a football program.
Kaniaupio, a 5-foot-9, 190-pound linebacker, had a senior season to remember at Hilo and did well to represent his other school, Ke Kula o Nawahiokalaniopuu.
He signed to play ball for the Spirit, who will compete on the Division II level in the National Christian College Athletic Association.
Cal State Northridge prefers to be known as CSUN, and it’s the same thing will all capital letters at Ottawa, which goes by QUAZ.
