No team loves Hawaii like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though I’m sure there hasn’t been an actual effort to find players from the island of 1.44 million, they’ve collected the largest pool of them in the league.
On the team’s 90-man roster right now sits five Hawaii natives. There’s the Herbig brothers, Nate and Nick. There’s Isaac Seumalo, Breiden Fehoko, and the newest addition, wide receiver Roman Wilson from Kihei, who attended the same high school as the Herbig’s.
Of their current 87-man roster, that means nearly six percent of them are from the island.
How does that compare to the rest of the NFL? Pro Football Reference has a list of Hawaii-born players. They show 12 of them playing in games last season. Non-Steelers include former Steeler Tyson Alualu, QB Tua Tagovailoa, and DL DeForest Buckner. Adding in Fehoko – who technically didn’t appear in a game last year but spent time on the Steelers’ 53-man roster, that’s 13 of them on rosters last season.
How about the rookie class? I don’t have an exhaustive list, but using Dane Brugler’s draft guide that lists the hometowns of hundreds of players, there were five of them. Three of them were drafted: New York Giants LB Darius Muasau, Dallas Cowboys LB Marist Liufau, and the Steelers’ Roman Wilson. One other, Tua’s brother Taulia Tagovailoa, was invited to a rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, while another, LB Zion Tupuola-Fetui, appears unsigned and uninvited to the best of my knowledge despite initial reports he was going to Carolina.
So, let’s assume 15 Hawaii-born players appear in games next year. The current ones minus Alualu, again a free agent whose career may truly be done this time, and the three drafted rookies. That means one-third of them could come from Pittsburgh should Fehoko land on the 53-man roster in some capacity.
As is my usual question, what does this matter? I offer my usual answer. Not much. But it’s a fun factoid to examine post-draft. The Steelers love their Hawaiians. And I bet Hawaii loves Pittsburgh.
A 35-year-old man was taken to a hospital in serious condition early this morning after an apparent stabbing on Waterhouse Street in Kalihi, according to Honolulu Emergency Medical Services.

Hawaii’s most active and popular volcano, Kilauea, is preparing to put on a show as geologists forecast the volcano’s 44th eruption in the coming days.
The United States Geological Survey said that precursory eruption activity is occurring as the active volcano prepares to erupt – one of Earth’s most captivating natural spectacles.
According to the USGS, the forecast for the start of episode 44 is between April 6 to April 14.
On Saturday morning, the south vent overflowed at 6:11 a.m. HST, with lava flowing from the south vent at least 10 times through small dome fountains.
One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Kilauea has been erupting episodically within its summit caldera since December 23, 2024 – and is preparing to do so for the 44th time in the coming days.
Eruption episodes at Kilauea typically last from a few hours to one day, with some lasting up to 8 ½ days of lava flow.
When the volcano comes alive, it is a sight to behold.
Fountains of red to yellow lava shoot more than 1,000 feet in the air out of boiling lakes of lava – a scene that annually attracts crowds of tourists to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to witness the phenomenon.
For those fortunate enough to witness a Kilauea eruption, the natural spectacle is as dangerous as it is mesmerizing.
According to the USGS, the volcano lets off threatening hazardous gases, especially to those with heart or respiratory issues, infants, children and pregnant women.
When the volcano is erupting, unsafe ash is abrasive and can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory system.
Can’t make the trip to Hawaii to witness the 44th episode? Don’t worry.
The USGS operates several live webcams at Kilauea, streaming continuously on their website—stay tuned for any signs of eruption. You won’t want to miss it.
