Fall Camp: Day 10 Wrap-Ups

Bad news for Brashton Satele and the UH defense.

Hawai'i middle linebacker Brashton Satele is expected to undergo season-ending surgery next week.

Satele and his parents met with a surgeon last night. They are scheduled to have another consultation with a Mainland specialist next week.

But Satele is expected to have a surgery that will keep him out of the lineup for the rest of the season.

Kalani Takase and Stephen Tsai also profile Aaron Brown.

Jason Kaneshiro writes about two players who will have to fill Brashton's shoes, Mana Lolotai and Jake Heun.

"We've been making sure our assignments are correct and making sure we know what we're doing on the field," Lolotai said. "It's a faster pace (practicing) with the ones."

After injuries led to Heun redshirting last fall, he dabbled at defensive end in the spring before moving to linebacker. He missed the latter part of spring practice when a calf injury acted up again, but he said he feels his speed returning so far in camp and embraces the responsibilities of the position.

"Brashton's a natural leader, but also just the role of the Mike linebacker," Heun said. "We're making the calls, we're changing the line, so it's a big thing we have to step up to. You have to know what's going on because those D-linemen are looking at you to make the calls."

Kaneshiro also has notes about Aaron Brown and Brett Leonard.
