Micah Alejado Shines in Preseason Honors | Honolulu News

Micah Alejado, Hawaii’s sophomore quarterback, just became the first player from the school—and the first sophomore ever—in the Mountain West to win Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. After throwing for over 3,000 yards and 24 touchdowns last season while battling a brutal ankle injury, he led Hawaii to a nine-win campaign and their first bowl victory since 2019. Now rehabbing that injury, he credits faith and teammates for his resilience. With four Rainbow Warriors earning preseason honors—including teammates from the same Vegas powerhouse high school—Hawaii kicks off their season against Stanford on August 29, as the Mountain West reshapes its landscape. Alejado calls the award a blessing but remains focused: nothing’s earned yet, only wins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
