The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have reportedly offered a fifth grade quarterback a scholarship.
You read that right. Titan Lacaden, a Hawaii native, is a quarterback and free safety for his youth team the Hawaii All Black Crusaders.
Blessed with a D1 offer. Thank you Coach Rolo!! @NickRolovich #Future #defendpriderock #UHWarriors pic.twitter.com/FIbHrsxbBY

Lacaden's older brother, a linebacker at the University of Nevada, confirmed that his little brother had indeed received an offer from Nick Rolovich's team, even though he hasn't even gotten to middle school yet.
Beyond blessed to confirm that my 11 year old brother has received his very first D-1 football offer to the HomeTown team @HawaiiFootball https://t.co/PaA4E2GxCA

This is certainly interesting. Middle-schoolers have started getting more and more offers in recent years, but offering a scholarship to a fifth-grader is unbelievable. It should be fascinating to see if the offer is still there for Lacaden when he's ready to make a commitment in 2024.
