University of Hawai'i senior guard Vince Manuwai has been named to the second team of the Associated Press All-America football team.

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.
