Another top local kid has verbally committed to the University of Hawaii this week. Coming from Maui is Colton Cowell who is a 6'1" outside hitter from the 2015 class. He attends King Kekaulike HS and plays for Hawaii Elite Southside.

Cowell who is an excellent beach player has moved to Maui from California where he previously attended Mira Coast HS year in his freshman year where he currently still has family.

Colton teamed up this year with 2016 UH commit Austin Matautia (and current club teammate) in the Hawaii Sand Volleyball Festival and earned first place. Other accomplishments by him were 2014 Prep Sand Volleyball Champions, fourth place in the 2014 State Boy's Volleyball Tournament, and 2014 MIL Player of the Year.

He joins seven other players in the Class of 2015 that Charlie Wade may bring in a total of ten new players next season. Besides Hawaii, he was recruited by Cal Baptist, UC San Diego, and UC Santa Cruz.
