Recruit Profile

The Warrior Volleyball team picked up a walk-on in the past few weeks with a commitment from Isaac Liva (Mililani, HI). He is a 6'5" opposite who played his last season of his high school career at Mililani HS and his club with Ku'ikahi Volleyball Club.

With his one year as a Trojan, Liva led his team to the HHSAA State Tournament with a fourth place finish earning him a spot on the State All-Tournament Team. They were undefeated in the OIA West with a 10-0 record which progressed to Liva becoming the OIA West Player of the Year. His talent and statistics will most likely earn him another spot on the Hawaii State Fab 15.

Before his senior year at Mililani, he was a two-time Division II State Champion with Hawaii Baptist Academy. As an Eagle he was one of two go-to players which earned the team a Division II ILH title in 2015 and a runner-up spot in 2014. He was named ILH First Team All-Stars both seasons and the Most Outstanding Player spot in the State Tournament in 2015.

Liva's club career with Ku'ikahi Volleyball Club began in 2013 as his has played with them since. The first two years his team has qualified for the Open Division at the Boys Junior National Championships. His team will head to Dallas, Texas this summer for the BJNC in the Club Division. His club coach is his former HBA head coach Teoni Obrey.

During his high school career he played four years of basketball where he was a 2015 All-Hawaii Second Team and an ILH First Team at HBA and a 2016 OIA Western Division Second Team All-Star. He also was an one year football career in his senior year and was an All-Hawaii Division I Honorable Mention as a Defensive Linesman.

Isaac's older sister is former Mililani basketball and volleyball standout Sarah Liva who played two seasons at Portland State for volleyball but has transferred home to Hawaii Pacific University where she will play basketball.

He joins OIA rival Austin Matautia (Ewa Beach, CA), Everett Schuett (Thousand Oaks, CA), Jack Reese (Pittsburgh, PA), Jackson Van Eekeren (Lisle, IL), and USC transfer Larry "Tui" Tuileta (Honolulu, HI) for the 2017 Warrior team.
