Previews: UH QBs, Game by Game

HawaiiAthletics.com kicks off their position-by-position previews with a look at the Warrior QBs.

“His greatest strength is his desire to be great,” Rolovich said. “I think he really wants to be a good player—a great player—and wants to really represent this university well and this team well. He’s really taken it on his shoulders and I think he’s going to will us to a bunch of wins.”

A more relaxed, yet focused Alexander returns this year, mentioning his experience from last year has him prepared to be ready to face this season head on.
