Also, cornerback Gerard Lewis of Tyler Junior College in Texas has committed to UH. Because Lewis had signed a letter of intent with another school previously, he is allowed only to sign a scholarship agreement with the Warriors.

And Moanalua High School coach Arnold Martinez said safety Stanford Leti and linebacker Quinton Tang are awaiting test results before signing. Martinez said both players remain committed to joining the Warriors.

Waimea High's Kenny Estes has indicated he will turn in his letter of intent on Friday.
