Three Warriors To Compete In Football All-Star Games

Three University of Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors – running back Diocemy Saint Juste, offensive lineman Dejon Allen, and safety Trayvon Henderson – are scheduled to compete in college football all-star games.
 
On Saturday, Saint Juste will compete in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., while Allen will participate in the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla. Henderson will take part in next week's Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
 
Saint Juste completed a standout four-year career by breaking the program's single-season rushing mark in 2017 with 1,510 yards. Saint Juste also set program records for yards per game average (125.8) and rushing attempts (282) and was selected to the all-Mountain West second team.
 
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will be held at the Rose Bowl and will be televised on FS1 beginning at 11:00 a.m. HT.
 
Allen made 49 career starts during his four-year career. He was named to the all-MW first team and received the team's Offensive MVP award for the second straight year. Allen is the first Rainbow Warrior to participate in the East-West Shrine Game since Vaughn Meatoga and Kaniela Tuipulotu in 2011 and the 21st player overall.
 
Kick-off for the 93rd East-West Shrine Game is 10:00 a.m. HT at Tropicana Field and will be televised on the NFL Network.
 
A four-year starter in the UH secondary, Henderson finished his senior year with 55 tackles, including three pass break-ups, two sacks and one interception. He started 38 of 49 games over his career with nine career picks, tied for eighth all-time at UH. Henderson is the 20th Rainbow Warrior to compete in the Senior Bowl and first since Luke Ingram in 2012.
 
The Reese's Senior Bowl will be played, Saturday, Jan. 27 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The game will air at 8:30 a.m. HT on the NFL Network.
 
In addition, defensive lineman Meffy Koloamatangi was invited to the College Gridiron Showcase in Addison, Texas, a five-day event for NFL Draft-eligible players. Participants were evaluated by football scouts and received professional coaching, mentoring, life coaching and seminars that will benefit them as they move forward in their professional lives in or out of football.
