Stephen Tsai's blog report from the second week of spring practice for the University of Hawai'i football team:

The second week of practice opened with the defense getting some work. The defense was allowed to wear shoulder pads, so there was some modified hitting. Mario Cox was gang-tackled but walked away OK.

Some notes:

  • Greg McMackin's wife and grandson, Taylor McMackin, attended practice. Taylor was used on some defensive drills. Greg Yamamoto will have photos when his gallery posts later today.

  • To spice up practice during 7-on-7 drills, the defensive secondary consisted of Davone Bess and (a helmetless) Jason Rivers as cornerbacks and Ryan Grice-Mullins and Colt Brennan as safeties.

  • Cameron Allen-Jones received a lot of work as tight end/H-back/big body. Brennan said Allen-Jones is a good receiver.

  • Punahou's Miah Ostrowski attended practice.

  • Blaze Soares has been impressive as the strong-side linebacker.
