Who said there are no benefits to playing video games?

"I used to play (football) video games, and I always wanted to play with Hawai'i because of its offensive style," Kevin Spain said.

Spain will get a real-life chance to run the Warriors' four-wide passing offense. Spain, a quarterback for Paradise Valley High School in Arizona, yesterday accepted a football scholarship from the Warriors.

He will be the sixth member of the Warriors' 2010 recruiting class.

"I'm really happy about it," said Spain, who is 6 feet 2 and 190 pounds. I've always been a fan of (former UH quarterback) Colt Brennan. I can't wait to play in his offense."

Spain drew interest from UCLA, Boise State and New Mexico State.

He also had an impressive showing at Arizona State's recent one-day camp. The Sun Devils already received a commitment from a quarterback for 2010. ASU head coach Dennis Erickson recommended Spain to UH head coach Greg McMackin. In the 1990s, McMackin was Erickson's defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks and at the University of Miami.

"After coach Erickson called coach Mack, Hawai'i watched my highlight film and made an offer," Spain said. "I committed (to UH). I'm super-excited about everything."

Paradise Valley uses a Wing-T offense, but "we put in some shotgun formations so I can throw the ball more," Spain said.

Spain is capable of running 40 yards in 4.7 seconds.

He also can throw a football about 75 yards.

Recruiting analysts praise Spain's accuracy.

"Accuracy is one of the things I really work on, along with my footwork," Spain said.

He said he also will play safety this season.

Spain has a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0. He said he "definitely" will meet the requirement to gain admission into UH.

Spain also plays lacrosse and baseball. He said he joined the baseball team as a pitcher, but now is used as a designated hitter because he did not want to over-use his arm.

"I like to snowboard," Spain said, "but I guess now I have to learn how to surf."

Earlier, UH received commitments from offensive tackle Frank Loyd of Moanalua High, slotbacks Corey Lau of Kailua High and Samson Anguay of Campbell High, wideout Christian "Bubba" Poueu-Luna of Great Oak High (Temecula, Calif.), and safety Dominick Sierra of La Habra (Calif.) High.
