The inaugural Polynesian Bowl is set for Saturday inside Aloha Stadium, as some of the best high school football prospects in America are already in Hawaii preparing for the game.

The Polynesian Football Hall of Fame established the Polynesian Bowl to showcase the world’s elite high school all-star players of Polynesian heritage and other ancestries.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is the captain of Team Mariota coached by June Jones while Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley is the captain of Team Stanley coached by Dick Tomey.

The game will kickoff at 11 p.m. (EST) and can be viewed on ESPN3. Players of Hawaiian, Samoan, Fijian and Tongan ancestry are certainly highlighted but not every invite to the game is of Polynesian heritage.

There will be several blue-chippers on the field.

A pair of 247Sports five-stars headline the roster in Alabama quarterback signee Tua Tagovailoa and Iowa defensive line commit A.J. Epenesa. There is plenty of star power after those guys including the nation’s No. 2 tight end Josh Falo, Michigan quarterback commit Dylan McCaffrey, Wolverines offensive tackle pledge Chuck Filiaga, Top247 defensive end Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa and Top247 safeties Isaiah Pola-Mao and Chaz Ah You.

Tagovailoa arrived in Honolulu on Wednesday night but may not be able to play because he's already enrolled in Tuscaloosa.

"We just found out he may not be permitted to play, but we're still trying," a representative from the Polynesian Bowl said.

Six are slated to announce their college decision.

First up will be Top247 defensive end Langi Tuifua. BYU is the heavy 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite for the nation’s No. 12 weak-side defensive end out of South Jordan (Utah) Bingham.

Announcing in the second quarter will be defensive tackle Brandon Pili and linebacker Levani Damuni. Oregon State is the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite for Pili, while BYU, Virginia and Stanford are among the top contenders for Damuni.

Third quarterback announcements will come from defensive tackle Austin Faoliu and linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia. Oklahoma looks to be in great position for Faoliu while it’s Oregon that is the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite for Slade-Matautia.

The final announcement of the night comes from safety Charles Watson, who has a final two in Oregon State and BYU.
