Warriors' Elimimian named to all-freshman team

"I'm happy to be recognized," said Elimimian, who led the Warriors in tackles with 73 this past season.
Elimimian, who is 6 feet and 225 pounds, did not break into the starting lineup until the Warriors' third game of 2005. He also had six tackles for losses, two sacks and an interception.
Elimimian said it was "big step" adjusting to college and Hawai'i's lifestyle.
"I was nervous coming into college," he said. "It was a whole different scene. And Hawai'i is totally different from Los Angeles."
Elimimian said he received advice from his brother, Abraham Elimimian, a former UH defensive back.
"He was always calling me, answering my questions," Solomon Elimimian said. "He really helped me out a lot."
Slotback Davone Bess was named to the Scout.com All-Freshman second team, and slotback Ryan Grice-Mullen received honorable mention.
