The University of Hawaii football team is adding height and depth to its offensive line.

Micah “Big Mike” Vanterpool of Central High School in Phoenix told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he will sign a letter of intent with the Rainbow Warriors on Feb. 1, the first day of the signing period for NCAA football recruits.

Vanterpool said he is 6 feet 6 and 286 pounds. He will compete at offensive guard for the Warriors.

“When I went to Hawaii, it felt like home,” said Vanterpool, who took a UH-sponsored recruiting trip the past weekend. “Everyone there was so accepting. I saw how much love is on the island. I thought, ‘man, this place is incredible.’”

Asked about the highlights of the visit, Vanterpool said: “the food in Hawaii is so delicious. We went to this restaurant called Side Street (Inn). Oh, so delicious.”

Vanterpool also received scholarship offers from Boise State, UNLV Northern Colorado, UC Davis and New Mexico State.

Vanterpool has an unweighted cumulative grade-point average of 3.7, ranking 13th out of Central’s 421 seniors.

He also competes in basketball and track and field.
