Future Warriors: Mike Wadsworth

Ray Brewer of the Las Vegas Sun profiles UH commit Mike Wadsworth.

Barely 100 pounds as a seventh grader, Wadsworth displayed the athleticism that has made him a star at Silverado the past two years. A certain excitement ripples through the stadium each time Wadsworth touches the ball, and regardless of his small stature, he finds ways to compete.

That is something fans at the University of Hawaii will soon learn. Wadsworth, a safety and kick returner, is one of four players with ties to Henderson who are expected to sign letters of intent on Feb. 4.

Not many players Wadsworth's size — he was 5-foot-9, 120 pounds as a freshman — go on to play in college.

But, then again, not many have the drive of Wadsworth.
