Former University of Hawai'i linebacker Solomon Elimimian will have another chance to extend his football career when he auditions for the Buffalo Bills this week.

Elimimian, the Warriors' career leader in tackles, was not selected in the past weekend's National Football League draft.

"I don't have time to think about that," said Elimimian, who was named the Western Athletic Conference's co-Defensive Player of the Year for 2008. "I'm getting ready for this workout."

Agent Wynn Silberman said if Elimimian does well enough, he might receive a free-agent contract.

"They're going to take a real strong look at him," Silberman said. "We'll see what happens."

Elimimian played middle linebacker his first three UH seasons. He rotated between outside linebacker and middle linebacker last season. Silberman said Elimimian will receive work at both positions during the rookie camp, which runs Thursday through Sunday.

"Nothing has been easy for me," Elimimian said. "I've had to prove myself my entire life. This is another challenge.

Another former UH linebacker, Adam Leonard, still had not received a firm free-agent offer.

TITANS LIKE MOUTON

Marcus Robinson, who coaches the Tennessee Titans' defensive secondary, said he expects Ryan Mouton to contribute this season and then compete for a "starting job in 2010."

Mouton, a former UH defensive back, was the Titans' third-round pick this past weekend.

Robinson attended Mouton's workout at Katy High School in Texas the past Friday. Robinson wanted to check on Mouton's health.

Mouton suffered a pulled left hamstring during the East-West Shrine game in January. He aggravated the injury while running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in February and the April 2 UH Pro Day.

But a biodex test, which measures the strength in the hamstrings and quadriceps, showed Mouton's left leg was at 93 percent. "We're not worried about that," said Robinson, who strongly recommended drafting Mouton.

"He has great burst, and he's tough," Robinson said. "He plays bigger than his size. He's a vicious hitter. He makes plays. I think he's going to make as much of an impact for us as our first pick."

The Titans have two aggressive cornerbacks, but Nick Harper will be 34 this year.

ONE WEEK BREAK

For the Warriors, the break from training will last a week.

Spring training ended with the past Saturday's Warrior Bowl at Aloha Stadium. But the offseason conditioning program resumes next week, with workouts set for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

There will be another break for final-examination week, McMackin said, "then we'll start the summer workouts."

McMackin and his assistant coaches have finalized the 105-player roster for training camp. By meeting the NCAA roster limit, about 30 players who practiced this spring will not be invited to training camp, which starts Aug. 3.

McMackin said those players will be notified this week during meetings with their position coaches.

"It's really tough," McMackin said. "It's the toughest thing about the job. You're breaking a guy's heart. But it comes down to a numbers game."

The roster may expand Aug. 24, the first day of UH's fall semester. McMackin said about 10 players will be added.

McMackin said his staff is crafting "starting points" ˆ… a tentative depth chart. Greg Alexander will be listed as the No. 1 quarterback.

Running backs Inoke Funaki, who started six games at quarterback last season, and Leon Wright-Jackson will be "bracketed" at No. 1.

The No. 1 offensive line is this: left tackle Aaron Kia, left guard Ray Hisatake, center John Estes, right guard Raphael Ieru and right tackle Laupepa Letuli.

McMackin said there are about nine receivers competing for the four starting jobs.

VIDEO POSITION FILLED

Chris Williams will be the Warriors' video coordinator, succeeding Ryan Biesemeyer, who accepted a job as an assistant coach at Texas Lutheran.

Williams is a former UH linebacker. He is engaged to former UH softball player Kaulana Gould.
