Manuwai named AP second-team All-American

Advertiser Staff

University of Hawai'i guard Vince Manuwai was named to the second team of the Associated Press All-America team selected today.

Last week, Manuwai, a Farrington High School alumnus, became the fourth player in UH football history to be named a first-team All-American when he was selected to the CNN/Sports Illustrated first team, one of seven All-America teams officially recognized by the NCAA.

Manuwai, who is listed at 6 feet 2 and 309 pounds, is UH's first nationally recognized first-team All-American since placekicker Jason Elam, who was picked by Kodak in 1992.
