Beau Yap, The Advertiser's All-State co-Defensive Player of the Year, has accepted a football scholarship from the University of Hawaii, according to his father, Boyd Yap.

Yap, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound rush end from Kamehameha Schools, had made a commitment to Baylor last week. He visited Oregon State this weekend. But after returning today, he changed his mind and pledged a commitment to the Warriors.

The first day high school student-athletes can make a binding commitment to a school is on National Letter of Intent day on Wednesday.
