The Centurions: #17 Davone Bess

The Star-Bulletin's countdown of UH football's "Centurions", the 100 greatest players in the University of Hawaii's 100 years of football, continues with #17, receiver Davone Bess.

Jason Kaneshiro profiles Simply Da Bess.
Now preparing for his second season with the Miami Dolphins, Bess still reflects on the twists that led him to Hawaii and the abiding impact of that decision.

"I think about that all the time," Bess said. "I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason.

"They gave me an opportunity to come here and play and I took advantage of it and it put me on a plateau to be successful and work as hard as I can to maintain that success."

Ask Lee about Bess and "work ethic" is liberally peppered into the conversation.

Blessed with hands that clung to just about everything thrown to him, Bess worked diligently to improve them, snaring ball after ball fired out of the Jugs machine before and after practices.

When he left after his junior year, those hands had secured a school-record 293 passes, including 41 touchdowns, covering 3,610 yards.

"He has a tremendous feel for where to be," Lee said. "He made it look easy. He's not a 4.4 (40-yard dash) guy, but he has the quickness to make guys miss and he has that savvy."
Just a reminder that he and Ryan Mouton will be today's guest on The Warrior Beat Show today at noon HST. You can post questions on the blog or during the show.
