Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele and his Campbell squad played their first league game yesterday against Farrington in Campbell's homecoming game. They won 50-7 behind 5 more TD passes by JKS to move to 3-0.

His season stats are up to:
60/82, 73.2%, 1113 yards, 371.0 y/g , 16 TDs, 1 INT

14 rushes, 104 yards, 7.4 y/c, 34.7 y/g

He did throw his first interception of the season this week and generally wasn't as sharp as he usually is with a stat line of 18/30 (60%) for 403 yards, 5 TDs, and the 1 INT plus 5 rushes for -5 yards (including sack yardage).

The big news from the night though? **He became the leading passer in Hawaii prep football history**, passing current Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel. The Hawaii Prep World site (which also hasn't updated its numbers in a couple weeks) has him sitting about 1500 yards shy of the record but, as far as I can tell, that's because they only have his Campbell career counted and aren't including the 5 games he started at St. Louis as a freshman in '21 where he passed for another 1730 yards and 21 TDs in 5 games. Regardless, as it's difficult to verify either way without a lot of digging, I'm inclined to trust the local news outlet which seems pretty confident in his record breaking career. But, if it turns out he hasn't yet, it's only a matter of time. He also only needs 20 more TD passes to become the all-time Hawaii TD leader as well.

Up next for JKS and Campbell is the final (regular season) home game of his HS career against Kapolei before they hit the road for their final 4 games, including matchups against Hawaii powerhouse programs Mililani on Oct. 5 and against #1 ranked team in Hawaii Kahuku to end the season Oct. 19

awesome. stay in his ear staff (but you know, don't be weird about it)

My only worries are that Utah offered him and there's, only fan/beat reporters, saying Notre Dame may make a run at him and he's not re-posting any Cal material. I know that's not real evidence and it's only social media sleuthing but imo we need to prove to him that our offense is worth playing in. It's not just about winning games it's about selling ourselves to recruits.

On the other side Dillon Gabriel, one of his friends and mentors, stayed with UCF despite late offers from Georgia and Oklahoma, among others. He seems like a guy who values consistency, honesty, and loyalty but, at the same time, if a big program moves in with a massive NIL offer then all bets are off.

We've lost out on QBs who were either finalists or committed in recent recruiting classes like Miller Moss, Jaden Rashada, and Jaylin Martin but, if I'm being honest, losing JKS would hurt more than all those guys combined. I truly believe he's one of the best prep QBs I've ever seen and a program changing player. I think he'll go up there with Rodgers and Goff as one of the best California QBs ever if we can close and get that ink dry on signing day

there's only so much we can do. if we have a 9 win season and look like the team's having fun doing it, we should have a good chance. but with the publicity he's getting we're going to have to beat about 20 programs for him.

it'd be amazing to have a guy like JKS for 3ish years though

Is that better than Timmy Chang back in the day?

Timmy Chang (in an admittedly different era) had 8,001 career yards back in the day through 41 games played. JKS has 10,087 through 32 games played (or 8,354 yards through 27 games played because, again, there's a discrepancy depending on which outlet you're getting the info from)
