UH linebacker Fonoti to skip 2006 season

By Stephen Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer

John Fonoti, who was projected to start at outside linebacker for the University of Hawaii football team, will not play this season because of personal reasons, The Advertiser has learned.

Fonoti, who played as a true freshman last season, will remain on scholarship and is expected to remain enrolled in this school.

Fonoti is expected to rejoin the team for the spring semester (2007).

Fonoti can use this season as a redshirt year. After this, he will have three years to play three seasons.

Brashton Satele, who redshirted as a freshman last year, is the top candidate to succeed Fonoti.
