Quarterback Graunke to be reinstated to Warrior football team

Advertiser Staff

Quarterback Tyler Graunke has resolved his "academic issues" and will be reinstated to the University of Hawai'i football team, head coach Greg McMackin confirmed tonight.

He has been withheld from team activities since Aug. 4.

Because Graunke must undergo medical tests and attend NCAA-mandated orientation sessions, he will not travel with the Warriors to the Aug. 30 season-opening game against fifth-ranked Florida.

The Warriors depart Tuesday for Atlanta, where they will train for two days before going to Florida.

Their travel roster is limited to 65 players.

McMackin said he will take only three quarterbacks — starter Brent Rausch, Greg Alexander and Inoke Funaki.
