"That's awesome," UH football coach June Jones said. "That helps the program. That helps everything. I couldn't be happier for both of them,"

Alama-Francis, who is 6-feet-5, 276 pounds, played in 13 games for the Warriors last season, amassing 21 solo tackles and 18 assisted tackles, including 10 tackles for losses totaling 51 yards. The All-Western Athletic Conference first-team pick also had four sacks for 28 yards and recovered three fumbles.

Alama-Francis, who started his UH career on the basketball team, is the son of former NFL player Joe Francis and Rolenda Alama-Francis.

Satele, a Kailua High alum, was considered one of the top center prospects for this year's draft. He was a four-year starter and a two-time All-Western Athletic Conference first team pick, playing center, left guard and left tackle during his UH career. He was part of an offensive line that helped the Warriors lead in national in several statistical categories, including total offense, passing offense and touchdowns.

He is the son of Norine and Faalata Satele of Kane'ohe.
