SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JOSH GREEN, M.D. Governor State of Hawai‘i

THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAI‘I On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, I extend a warm aloha to everyone gathered for the college football game between the University of Hawai‘i (UH) Warriors and the University of California (CAL) Golden Bears in this year’s Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl on Christmas Eve, held at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. These two storied football programs will compete for the sixth all-time meeting as the green and white of the Mountain West and the blue and gold of the Atlantic Coast Conference will matchup under bright lights and roaring crowd energy – setting the stage for a showdown packed with gridiron grit, drama, and plenty of hang time. I want to recognize that since its inception, the Hawai‘i Bowl Foundation has awarded $1.9 million to support youth and education – strengthening the Bowl’s connection to student-athlete development, academic achievement and community service initiatives. Also, by participating in The Extra Yard For Teachers program, in partnership with the College Football Playoff Foundation, more than $400,000 has been directed to Hawai‘i’s public and charter school classrooms to foster innovative teaching, classroom resilience, and student engagement. My sincere appreciation also goes to our dedicated sponsors, including title sponsor, Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, numerous volunteers, and countless businesses. Their support powers this nationally televised event to millions of viewers, promoting our State to potential visitors. Their unwavering commitment ensures that this holiday tradition of the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl Game remains not just a contest on the field, but a celebration of community, aloha spirit, and the enduring heartbeat of college football. With warmest aloha,

Josh Green, M.D. Governor, State of Hawai‘i

THE OFFICIAL HEALTH CARE PARTNER OF THE SHERATON HAWAI‘I BOWL

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

Founded in 1868 in the wake of California’s gold rush, the University of California, Berkeley has evolved into one of the world’s preeminent public universities. From modest beginnings with 10 faculty members, 40 students, and three fields of study, Cal has grown into an academic powerhouse with more than 1,600 faculty, over 45,000 students, and 350 degree programs spanning 130 academic departments and 80 interdisciplinary research units. Cal consistently ranks at the pinnacle of higher education institutions nationwide. According to U.S. News & World Report, Berkeley ranks first among public universities in the United States, with its undergraduate psychology, computer science, and business programs sharing the No. 2 spot nationally in 2025. The university's depth of excellence extends across disciplines, with 50 Berkeley divisions, schools, and disciplines ranking in the Top 10 nationwide for graduate programs, and 19 others in the Top 25. The institution's 15 colleges and schools (including the renowned Haas School of Business, College of Engineering, and School of Journalism) serve a diverse student body that includes nearly 30 percent firstgeneration college students. Cal’s contributions to humanity extend far beyond the classroom. The university has been home to 28 Nobel laureates among its faculty, including recent 2025 recipients John Clarke in Physics and Omar Yaghi in Economics. Berkeley scholars discovered vitamin E, identified the flu virus, drafted the nation’s first no-fault divorce law, and have pioneered groundbreaking research across countless fields. Most notably, UC Berke-

ley professor Jennifer Doudna co-invented CRISPR gene editing technology, which has revolutionized healthcare and agriculture. Since founding the Innovative Genomics Institute a decade ago, the university has spun off 26 companies applying genomic approaches to medicine and beyond, with recent breakthroughs including the first on-demand, personalized CRISPR therapy delivered to a newborn child.

Berkeley’s library system ranks among the nation’s finest, with holdings of over 14 million volumes representing more than 400 languages (the fourth-largest collection among public universities nationwide). The university’s commitment to service mirrors its academic distinction: Cal has produced over 3,100 Peace Corps volunteers since 1961, more than any other US university, while more than 7,600 graduate and undergraduate students served community organizations, government offices, and schools in 2023-24. With over 587,000 living alumni worldwide, the Cal network continues to shape industries, communities, and innovations across the globe. Cal remains committed to its founding mission of providing both “practical” and “classical” education to serve California’s people. True to its public character, the university has offered financial aid to needy and deserving students since 1897, ensuring talented individuals can access world-class education regardless of means. Today, with approximately 14,438 degrees conferred annually across bachelor’s, master’s, professional, and doctoral programs, Berkeley continues to cultivate the next generation of innovators, leaders, and global citizens who will address tomorrow's greatest challenges.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Cal’s journey to Honolulu and a third consecutive bowl game had many twists and turns. There were exhilarating wins and excruciating losses, moments created that will last a lifetime, and a lot of good football players playing good football. True freshman quarterback and Ewa Beach native Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele let the entire nation know that the Golden Bears have one of the top signal callers in the country. Sagapolutele started the season by completing the first nine passes of his career on the way to a 34-15 victory at Oregon State and had several other strong performances, including arguably his best in the regular-season finale when he lit up No. 21 SMU for career highs of 330 yards passing and four touchdowns in the Bears’ 38-35 upset victory. On the season, Sagapolutele has completed 288-of-453 passes for 3,117 yards, which rank sixth on Cal’s single-season list and 17 touchdown throws. The freshman All-American (On3) had a favorite target in wide receiver Jacob De Jesus, who enters the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl with a career-high 99 receptions that lead the ACC, rank third nationally and are only one shy of Cal’s single-season record of 100 set by Dameane Douglass in 1998. De Jesus was one of Cal’s three first-team All-ACC selections along with cornerback Hezekiah Masses and inside linebacker Cade Uluave, while defensive back Brent Austin was a third-team pick, and Luke Ferrelli, Aidan Keanaaina and Kendrick Raphael honorable mention selections. De Jesus and Uluave were also both finalists for the Polynesian College

Football Player of the Year Award, while Ferrelli was the ACC’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year. Masses led the nation at the end of the regular season with 18 passes defended, while he and Austin were tied for second in both the ACC and nationally with 13 pass breakups. Raphael paced the ACC with 215 rushing attempts and was third in rushing touchdowns (12), while Uluave (90 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks), Ferrelli (87 tackles) and Keanaaina (55 tackles) also had career-high numbers that stood out on the stat sheet.

Cal’s 2025 season was highlighted by several key plays that secured victories on either the final play at No. 15 Louisville (Sagapolutele’s 3-yard TD pass to De Jesus), or the opponents’ final offensive play at Boston College (Ferrelli’s end zone interception) and against North Carolina (Austin’s forced fumble just before the Cal goal line and subsequent fumble recovery in the end zone). There was also plenty of drama in the final regular-season win against SMU and first contest under interim head coach Nick Rolovich, a former Hawai’i player and head coach. The Bears held a 31-14 lead early in the fourth quarter before the Mustangs scored 21 unanswered points to take a 38-35 advantage late, but Sagapolutele and the Bears put together an 8-play, 75-yard drive over the next 1:39 capped by Raphael’s game-winning 2-yard touchdown run. Sagapolutele completed all five of his passes on the drive for 61 yards.

Nick Rolovich: From Island Roots to Golden Bear

Nick Rolovich was named as Cal’s interim head coach on November 23, 2025. He is in his first season at Cal in 2025 and had been the team’s senior offensive assistant prior to his current appointment.

the UH offense racked up over 5,800 yards of offense, along with 43 touchdown passes. The aerial assault accounted for 30.8 points per game and 419 yards per contest.

Rolovich served as the head coach at Washington State (2020-21) and Hawai’i (2016-19). Prior to leading the Rainbow Warriors, Rolovich spent four seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Nevada from 2012-15.

At Nevada, Rolovich’s Wolf Pack offense ranked as high as eighth nationally (2012) in total offense at 514.8 ypg, generating 2,786 yards passing with a rushing attack that ranked seventh nationally at 271 ypg.

Rolovich guided WSU to a 38-28 win at Oregon State in the 2020 season opener, becoming the first Cougar head football coach to win his debut since 2003 and first to win his first game on the road since 1977. He mentored 11 student-athletes who received All-Pac-12 honors and WSU claimed the Pac-12’s first two Freshman of the Week awards in 2020. Rolovich’s Run and Shoot offense produced two of the Pac-12’s top three leaders in receiving yards during the season. During his tenure in Honolulu, he tallied a 28-27 overall record and led the Rainbow Warriors to three bowl games. Rolovich guided the 2019 squad to its first 10win season since 2010 as the Rainbow Warriors went 10-5, capped by a 38-34 win over BYU in the Hawai‘i Bowl. 2019 was the program’s first back-to-back winning seasons since 2006-07 after going 8-6 in 2018 and only the seventh time in program history Hawai’i reached double-digit wins. Earning 2019 Mountain West Coach of the Year honors, Rolovich’s offense threw for 338.0 ypg (fifth nationally), while the Rainbow Warriors were 13th in the FBS in total offense at 471.0 ypg. In 2018

Spending a total of eight seasons at Hawai’i, Rolovich served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2010-11 after leading the quarterbacks in 2008-09. For the three years Rolovich had play-calling duties (2009-2011), the Warriors threw for 13,915 yards - an average of 347.9 yards per game - and 96 touchdowns. That includes the 2010 season in which Hawai’i averaged 394.29 yards per game and led the nation in passing offense while finishing sixth in the nation in total offense. That year, Rolovich guided quarterback Bryant Moniz to the top of the total offense chart nationally and to an eighth-place standing in passing efficiency. Rolovich coached quarterbacks for two years at City College of San Francisco and began his coaching career as an assistant coach at San Marin High School in Novato. The Novato native earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from UH in 2004 and a master’s in human performance and sport from New Mexico Highlands (2007). Rolovich and his wife, Analea, have three sons, Daniel, William and Patrick, and one daughter, Alana.

Chick-fil-A® Ala Moana is proud to support the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I

Founded in 1907, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is the flagship of the 10-campus University of Hawai‘i System and the state’s largest and oldest institution of higher learning. It has earned a global reputation as a center of learning and research, attracting students and scholars from around the world. Nestled in the lush Mānoa Valley, just minutes from world-famous Waikīkī, the campus offers an inspiring backdrop for study, discovery, and student life. Consistently ranked a “best value” among U.S. colleges and universities, UH Mānoa delivers world-class education across hundreds of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. It is nationally respected for excellence in disciplines ranging from oceanography and astronomy to tropical agriculture, tropical medicine, and Hawaiian, Pacific Islands, and Asian studies. As the nation’s leading Indigenous-serving university, UH Mānoa is committed to supporting Native Hawaiian and Indigenous students while offering a unique multicultural, global experience through its teaching, research and community engagement. Guided by its mission E ho‘omālamalama i kō mālama—cultivating the potential within each member of the community—the university embraces its kuleana (responsibility) to serve Hawai‘i, the Pacific, and Asia, while mālama (caring for) its people, culture, and environment for future generations. A Top-Tier Research Institution Ranked among the top 2% of universities worldwide, UH Mānoa holds the “R1: Very High Research Activity” designation under the 2025 Carnegie Classification, placing it among roughly 187 U.S. universities with this distinction. Its researchers provide world-class expertise to local, national, and global leaders on issues including sustainability, climate, food systems and Hawai‘i’s unique health challenges. UH Mānoa is one of only a handful of universities nationwide to hold the distinction of being a land-, sea-, sun-, and space-grant institution, reflecting its broad impact and expertise. In 2025, the university secured more than $570 million in new extramural funding to advance research vital to Hawai‘i and the world. Complementing its outstanding academics and research, the 320-acre campus is consistently recognized as one of the most beautiful in the country and is an internationally accredited arboretum. It is home to more

than 6,000 plants representing over 700 species and has been recognized as a Tree Campus USA for 12 consecutive years. NCAA Division I Athletics UH Mānoa is home to Hawai‘i’s only NCAA Division I athletics program – the Rainbow Warriors and Rainbow Wahine – representing the pride, resilience and spirit of the islands. The program features 21 men’s, women’s and coed teams, with most competing in the Big West Conference and football in the Mountain West. UH Mānoa became a member of the NCAA in 1949 and joined its first major intercollegiate conference in 1979. Since then, its teams have earned eight national team championships and 11 national individual titles. This year, the Rainbow Warriors football team makes its 11th all-time appearance in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, continuing a tradition of unity, strength and aloha on the national stage.

YEAR IN REVIEW The Hawai’i football team will make its first bowl appearance under fourth year head coach Timmy Chang in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl. The Rainbow Warriors finished the regular season at 8-4, earning the program’s 16th bowl invitation and first since 2021.

Hawai‘i reached bowl eligibility behind one of the most productive passing offenses in the Mountain West. The Rainbow Warriors averaged 289.6 passing yards per game, ranking first in the conference, and finished the regular season with 3,476 passing yards, also leading the pack. The offensive success mirrored a style of play long associated with Hawai‘i and its high-flying aerial attack, one Chang helped establish during his playing career as the program’s quarterback. The Warriors won big games this season, starting with a walk-off 23-20 win over Autonomous Four opponent Stanford in front of a national television audience in Week 0, marking their first win over a power conference opponent since 2019. UH also picked up a pair of huge road wins, the first of which came at Air Force on Sept. 27 when the ’Bows rolled up 535 total yards and 44 points against a disciplined Falcons team. UH clinched bowl eligibility with a dominant performance on Oct. 18 at Colorado State, holding the Rams to just 85 rushing yards while recording six sacks and forcing two fumbles. Back at home, Hawai‘i handled San Diego State with 38-6 romp on Nov. 8, breaking open the game with a 14-point third quarter and limiting the Aztecs to under 300 yards of total offense. Placekicker Kansei Matsuzawa was a key contributor to Hawai‘i’s story of success in 2025 and captured the hearts of college football fans across the coun-

try with his incredible story. Affectionately nicknamed Tokyo Toe, he went 25-for-26 on field goal attempts, setting a program single-season record for made field goals. Matsuzawa delivered throughout the entire season, tying an NCAA-record with 25 straight field goals to start a season while booting a 38-yard field goal to beat Stanford. The Japan native, who learned to kick by watching YouTube videos, was named Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year as well as a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. Eleven Rainbow Warriors earned All-Mountain West honors this season, tying a program record for most in a single season. In addition, UH received 17 Mountain West player of the week awards – three offensive, three defensive, five special teams, and six freshman – by far the most in a single-season in program history. Head coach Timmy Chang was awarded the AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year. Freshman quarterback Micah Alejado was named MW Freshman of the Year after throwing for 2,832 yards and 21 touchdowns, establishing a new program freshman record for passing TDs. Wide receiver Jackson Harris earned first-team All-MW honors, receiver Pofele Ashlock landed on the second team, and offensive lineman Zhen Sotelo was honorable mention. On the defensive front, lineman Jackie Johnson III made the first team and De’Jon Benton was honored on the second team. Safety Peter Manuma, linebacker Jamih Otis, and nickelback Elijah Palmer all earned honorable mention honors.

Timmy Chang: The Heart of a Warrior

One of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NCAA history, Timmy Chang is in his fourth season as the head coach of the University of Hawai’i football program. A Honolulu native and former Rainbow Warrior all-time great quarterback, Chang is the sixth UH alumnus to lead the program, joining Tom Kaulukukui, Jim Asato, Larry Price, June Jones, and most recently Nick Rolovich. In 2025, Chang guided the Warriors to their most successful season of his tenure, leading Hawai‘i to an 8-4 regular season and the program’s first postseason berth since 2019. The ’Bows reached the six-win threshold with a road victory over Colorado State to become bowl eligible and eventually earn a spot to the 2025 Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl. Known for his expertise in the run-and-shoot offense, Chang oversaw the program’s most productive offensive season of his tenure, developing some of the Mountain West’s top performers. Hawai‘i consistently put up their best offensive numbers under Chang this season scoring 28.5 points per game. They finished among the Mountain West leaders in total offense and passing offense, highlighted by Mountain West Freshman of the Year Micah Alejado, who led the conference in passing yards per game (283.2) and completions per game (25.3). Wide Receiver Jackson Harris also received first-team All-Mountain West honors, as the offense produced multiple all-conference performers for the first time since 2022. Following an 8-4 regular season, Chang was named AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year. Prior to joining Hawai‘i as head coach, Chang spent five

seasons with the Nevada Wolf Pack. While in Reno (201721) he coached wide receivers and tight ends as part of Jay Norvell’s staff. During that span, Nevada earned four consecutive bowl berths and was one of the Mountain West’s most productive passing offenses. Before his time at Nevada, Chang served as offensive coordinator for Emory & Henry College (2016) and Jackson St. (2014-15), where he also coached quarterbacks and receivers. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at SMU under his collegiate coach June Jones, working with quarterbacks in the Mustangs’ run-andshoot offense. As a player, Chang was a four-year starter at quarterback for the Rainbow Warriors from 2000-04. He finished his career as the NCAA’s all-time leader in passing yards (17,072) and total offense (16,910), and at the time of his graduation he ranked third nationally in total touchdowns, accounting for 117. Chang led UH to three bowl appearances, was a two-time Hawai‘i Bowl Most Outstanding Player, and guided the team to 29 wins as a starter - the most by any quarterback in program history. In his final season as a Warrior, he was a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. Following his collegiate career, Chang played professionally for four seasons in the NFL, CFL, and NFL Europe. He retired from professional football in 2009 and returned to Manoa to complete his degree before transitioning into coaching.
