Two receivers — a member of a prominent football family and a player who was part of a state-championship team — have accepted scholarship offers from the University of Hawaii.

Dylan Collie, whose two brothers played in the NFL, returns from a church mission on Dec. 18 and will join the Rainbow Warriors on Jan. 12, the first day of UH’s 2015 spring semester.

Wide receiver Kalakaua Timoteo, a junior at Mililani High, will join the Warriors in 2016.

Collie, who is 5 feet 10 and 180 pounds, received offers from Oregon, Washington, UCLA and Utah before signing with Brigham Young in 2012. He redshirted that season, then began serving a church mission in Virginia.

While serving, a missionary is limited to minimal communication with his family. Collie told his father, Scott, he wanted to transfer to UH after he returned. Collie then requested — and received — a release from his BYU scholarship.

UH head coach Norm Chow was BYU’s receivers coach when Scott Collie played at that school for four seasons through 1982.

"Coach Chow was instrumental in my development as a player and a man," Scott Collie said. "He has a passion for the game. When it comes to being a competitor, you get that from him. It’s part of him. Football is his life. The kids who have come through — wherever he’s been, whenever he’s been involved — come away as great young men. I always told Coach Chow I wanted to get one of my sons to play for him. The opportunity to play for coach Chow is exciting to Dylan."

According to Scott Collie, of his three sons — Austin played for the Indianapolis Colts; Zac was a free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles — Dylan runs the most precise and technical routes.

"When a coach needs a certain down-and-distance, he’s the guy who’s going to get it," Scott Collie said.

Timoteo, who is 6-2 and 190 pounds, is a go-to and go-get-’em receiver.

Before the state-championship game, Mililani coach Rod York recalled, "He came up to me and said, ‘Coach, I’m ready.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘Throw me the ball, I’m ready.’ He had a hell of a game."

Timoteo caught seven passes for 117 yards and four touchdowns to help Mililani defeat Punahou. He had one drop — when he tried to make a one-handed catch.

"I got on him for that," York said, chuckling. "He said the Punahou cornerback was holding his hand. I refuse to believe that."

York often is in disbelief of Timoteo’s athleticism.

"The kid can jump," York said, noting Timoteo began dunking a basketball as a freshman. "He has Spider-Man hands. He can catch anything. He can leap. If you throw the ball up, he’ll go get it."

Timoteo is admittedly a lifelong Warriors fan. When the Warriors were seeking a new logo several years ago, Timoteo submitted an entry.

"It didn’t get picked, but that’s how much I wanted to play for UH," Timoteo said.

His wish was granted when he received the UH offer last week.

"I was kind of waiting for the offer because I wanted to stay home and play for my hometown and represent Hawaii," Timoteo said. "I wanted to stay home and be with my brothers and take care of my mom."
