Tausaga Quits

Oh well, we regain one, lose another. Stephen Tsai reports that cornerback CJ Tausaga is leaving the team.

Cornerback C.J. Tausaga has decided to quit the University of Hawai'i football team to focus on working with his church.

...

"He's one of the better people you would want to work with," said Rich Miano, who coaches defensive backs at UH.

"He's a loss to the program, more so as a person than a player."

Dave Reardon has more details.

"I actually made the decision a while ago," Tausaga said. "But I wanted to make sure I told all the coaches. I didn't want to walk out without going to them face-to-face."

The 5-foot-7, 187-pound freshman was No. 2 at cornerback on the depth chart after spring practice. But Tausaga was unable to hold that spot or move up in fall camp and was assigned to the scout team.

Good luck to C.J.
