HAWAII HAWAII FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Located on the island of Oahu, the University of Hawaii's football program competes as an FBS member of the Big West Conference with a roster of 100 student-athletes. The Rainbow Warriors play their home games at Ching Athletics Complex, serving a student body of 20,012 at the university founded in 1907. Head coach Timmy Chang, a former Hawaii quarterback himself, leads the program's efforts to compete in the challenging FBS landscape while maintaining strong ties to the local community across the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaii's geographic isolation in the Pacific presents unique challenges and opportunities for program development. The Rainbow Warriors must balance the demands of FBS competition against travel logistics that require extended trips to mainland venues for conference play. With 100 players on roster, the program maintains NCAA Division I standards while building a competitive team capable of representing the university and the state on a national stage.
Coach Chang's connection to Hawaii football runs deep, having played quarterback for the Rainbow Warriors before embarking on his professional career. His leadership brings both intimate knowledge of the program's traditions and practical experience navigating FBS requirements. As Hawaii continues its conference membership and competitive journey, the program remains a source of pride for Honolulu and the broader Hawaiian community.
