The latest episode of Hawai‘i Sports 2Night is now streaming on the KHON+ app, available on Apple TV, Roku, and Firestick, and it’s one fans won’t want to miss.
This week, we sit down with University of Hawai‘i senior defensive end Jackie Johnson III as the Rainbow Warriors prepare for their season opener against Stanford on Saturday, August 23 at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.
In an in-depth interview, Johnson shares insight on the current UH football squad, his expectations for the season, and the strength of his defensive line unit. The Manoa native, who attended both Saint Francis and Roosevelt, opens up about the challenges he faced in high school, his two-year stint at the NAIA level in Michigan, and his return home to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing for the ‘Bows.
The episode also explores Johnson’s off-the-field passion for kayak fishing, a hobby that he says not only provides peace and clarity but also serves as a unique form of physical and mental training.
Catch the full episode now on demand via the KHON+ app.
A rebroadcast will also air Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. on KHON2.
