Vasconcellos, who is 6-feet-1 and 181 pounds, will be a senior this year. He will sign his national letter of intent in February, and join the Warriors in August 2008.
"I like the hype," Vasconcellos said of his decision. "This is my home. I have to protect my home."
Vasconcellos was used as a safety last season. He will play cornerback this year.
He also is a post player on the basketball team and a competitor on the track team. He qualified for the state meet in the triple jump.
Vasconcellos said he made his decision after attending the Hawai'i Football Camp at the UH athletic complex. The UH football coaches serve as instructors.
