Year three under Timmy Chang begins as UH football opens 2024 Fall training camp
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The vibes were high at T.C. Ching field as the University of Hawaii football team opened up training camp in year three under head coach Timmy Chang.
Day one of training camp means football season is right around the corner. Despite preseason polls projecting Hawaii to finish 9th in the 12 team conference, optimism around the program is sky high.
“We want them to keep that energy, you know, it’s a process and it’s the consistency to stay through and keep it all the way to game one,” Chang told reporters. “Game one is a little ways away and so as long as they’re getting better every day and the energy is high and the want to, to get better is there, they’re going to be fine.”
UH ended last year with a ton of momentum, winning 3 of their last 4 games and there’s much to build on.
For the offense, they look to continue making strides in the run and shoot system, led by returning starters Brayden Schager and Pofele Ashlock.
“Every year you have the run and shoot it becomes better, It’s just seeing little things that I see Pofele do that I can know what he’s doing before he does it, that’s when it starts to get good,” Brayden Schager said. “that’s when you can already see I’m anticipating what he’s doing, getting the ball out earlier.”
‘It’s all in body movement and everything, You know what I mean?” Pofele Ashlock said. “It goes deeper to just a route, we really had a good communication with everything that we’re doing and so it’s been amazing.”
For the defense, they know its on them to ramp up the intensity.
‘For us to come up with the amount of energy that we did have today, you know, It’s great,” Safety Peter Manuma said. “First day of camp, it’s always going to be high energy, but we’re seeing how much energy we’re going to have throughout camp.”
Fall Training camp continues through August.

The Sony Open in Hawaii has the honors of being the kickoff event to the 2026 PGA Tour season after the cancellation of The Sentry at Kapalua this season.
Instead of Maui, the Tour debuts in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Jan. 15-18, at the Seth Raynor-designed Waialae Country Club, where Nick Taylor prevailed in a playoff over Nico Echavarria last year.
Among the changes this season is the field size, which was reduced from 144 to 120, and, there is no longer is a Monday qualifier offering four spots. Will that help with pace of play? Stay tuned.
The field includes the following notables in addition to Taylor and Echavarria: Daniel Berger, Keegan Bradley, Michael Brennan, Corey Conners, Tony Finau, Chris Gotterup, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Billy Horschel, Robert MacIntyre, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth, Sahith Theegala, Gary Woodland and 62-year-old Vijay Singh.
Here’s the full field for the Sony Open, which will be live on Golf Channel all four days as well as NBC with early-round coverage on Saturday and Sunday.
This year’s Sony purse is $9.1 million and the winner also will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
