Hawaii offers scholarship to fifth-grade QB

An 11-year-old quarterback was offered a scholarship by the University of Hawaii on Saturday. Titan Lacaden, a fifth grader from Kapolei, Hawaii, took to Twitter to share the news that he had received a verbal offer from Hawaii head coach Nick Rolovich.

Lacaden is a native of Hawaii and the younger brother of former Nevada linebacker Jake Lacaden. Rolovich was the offensive coordinator for part of Jake's time at Nevada, so there is familiarity with the family.

Lacaden's father, Frank, is also a local youth and high school coach who works with a group called the All Blacks Crusaders. The group travels around Hawaii playing flag and tackle football with youth ages 4 to 14.

Frank Lacaden took his Titan and the All Blacks Crusaders to the University of Hawaii's football camp on Saturday and met with Rolovich after the camp was over.

"(Rolovich) said he likes Titan and what he does. We both agreed that he's different, he carries himself differently," Frank Lacaden said. "They said they want to offer a scholarship and asked me how I felt about it. I know what my older son went through in the recruiting process and it's difficult, especially with us being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So when opportunity knocks, you answer the door."

Lacaden and his family have been around football on the island of Oahu. The family knows Alabama quarterback signee Tua Tagovailoa, who was the No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2017 class. Frank Lacaden also coached former Heisman winner Marcus Mariota at St. Louis High School

This verbal scholarship offer comes only about a week after FAU head coach Lane Kiffin offered sixth-grade quarterback Pierce Clarkson, the son of quarterback guru Steve Clarkson. Kiffin also offered seventh-grade quarterback Kaden Martin, the son of USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin, in the last month.

The family understands that Titan has a long journey until he reaches the college level, but also take the scholarship offer as it is and not just a kind gesture.

"When you offer someone, I take it serious," Frank Lacaden said. "I do understand he's 11 years old, but we take it serious. Here on the island, we keep our nose on the ground and keep grinding, so that's what he's going to keep doing, keep grinding.

The thirst is real.

Something happen?

Y'all trolling us as usually about our baseball team

Florida needs to cool it now. They've been throwing subliminals well into footballs offseason. We got braggin rights for the year and thats good, but we don't need to give bulletin board material like Arden Key...
 
He has an easer path to the starting job there. I want him to go to UF, but I think they're playing him too close. Five coaches text him daily.

You think he has an easier path to the starting job at FSU than UF? Francois only a sophomore so he gonna have to return next year and he'll probably have that spot on lock. Zaire only has one year left and apparently Frank's and Trask wasn't up to par like that or they wouldn't have went after him for a transfer so hard. Zaire transfer sets up UF perfectly to pull dude. I think if anybody is gonna steal him it would be Auburn. It's probably like 50/50.
 
Francois is a r-So, so he'll be gone after this year. We'll have better WR and TE for him to work with though. Auburn still has Stidham with three years left.

Oh I thought Stidham was a grad transfer like Zaire.
