Former Colorado Defensive Back Lands With SEC Contender
Former Colorado Defensive Back Lands With SEC Contender originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ole Miss added transfer defensive back Isreal Solomon this week. The former Colorado Buffaloes player made his way to Oxford after one year at Hawaii. He announced the move on social media Sunday. The 6-foot, 180-pounder will now be headed to the third stop in his college career. He joined Colorado as a preferred walk-on and wanted to learn in the secondary under Deion Sanders and his staff. After a year in Boulder, Solomon had a change of heart and wanted more playing time. His time at Hawaii was brief with Ole Miss pulling in one of the most underrated talents. Advertisement Solomon was a 'monster' on film and showed out time and time again. He was reportedly one of the only players to jam up No. 2 overall 2025 NFL Draft pick Travis Hunter in practice, giving a consistent challenge for the deep set of receivers. He nearly had a pick in CU's Black and Gold Spring Game before entering the portal. The Dallas, Texas native spent his 2023 season at IMG Academy and finished with 45 tackles, four interceptions, five pass breakups and 2.5 sacks. He was named Player of the Week six times during his senior season. Solomon made his way to Florida as the only recruit to play in both the Trinity League (CA), along with high-level Division I feeder IMG.

Both times sparked interest from several schools with Ole Miss being able to win him over. Being in the SEC was top on Solomon's list since leaving Coach Prime and the Buffs. Solomon will have all four years of eligibility at Ole Miss. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Putting rocks on the beach, cutting trees to save Oʻahu highway
KAAAWA, Hawaii (KHON2) — A popular Windward Oʻahu coastline is going through a major change. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news The State Department of Transportation said it is necessary to protect Kamehameha Highway in Kaʻaʻawa, but some beachgoers have reservations. The ocean has been slowly eating away at the Kaʻaʻawa Beach shoreline for years, but the Hawaiʻi DOT is preparing to build a rock wall about 400 feet long and 15.5 feet wide to keep the highway from collapsing into the sea. 'I get that your priority is to fix the road, and then in some places, you know,' said Kaneohe resident Shane Brown, 'What's the other option? Are we going to put a road through the middle of the school?' Hawaii vs. Trump: Legal battle brews over climate accountability Roughly 13,000 vehicles pass through this corridor every day, and it is a vital route for both residents and emergency services, but protecting the road comes at a cost. 'And even just being a surfer, I'm not a civil engineer and all that. But there's something where when you build a wall and the water hits it, the sand just goes away,' Brown said. 'Even I can see it looking behind you. We have a rock wall that's just down there. You see where the rock wall is, there's no sand…as soon as it ends, boom, beautiful beach.' Another concern KHON2 heard had to do with the trees that needed to be cut down in order to make room for the project. There are worries it could lead to further problems down the line. 'Seeing the trees removed, it's just more like another punch in the gut to the community, something that they didn't have a say in and it takes away the beauty of the location,' said Haula resident Derrick Pressley. 'The road itself is very important, the question would be, 'Why do we have to take the beach away to secure the road?'' 'Never seen it this bad before,' Maui residents on Kihei & Wailea beach erosion According to the HDOT's environmental assessment: A riprap revetment is the preferred option because it is a longer-term solution for the protection of the critical roadway, which also minimizes reflected energy at the shoreline. Lateral access to the beach is expected to improve following the installment of the revetment due to the absorptive and permeable nature of rock revetments. Kamehameha Highway at Kaaawa Erosion MitigationDraft Environmental Assessment 'They have to remove all this vegetation to be able to put the rocks in a secure way so that the rocks don't just go out into the ocean, because the worst thing would be that they do this project and then the waves break it all apart,' said Brown. The highway is being contraflowed while the project is ongoing; it is expected to be completed before high surf season in the winter.

Texeira selected to MLB All-Star Futures Game staff
After logging time in the major leagues as a pitcher, Maui native Kanekoa Texeira is once again climbing the professional baseball ladder, this time from the dugout. Texeira, a Kamehameha Schools graduate from Kula, Maui, is in his second season as the Triple-A manager for the Gwinnett Stripers, the Atlanta Braves' top affiliate in the International League. The former big-league reliever, who pitched 67 innings across two seasons with the Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals from 2010 to 2012, has quickly gained respect as a rising managerial talent. That reputation has earned him a new honor, a spot on the coaching staff for the 2025 All-Star Futures Game, set for July 12 at Truist Park in Atlanta. 'Hey, you know, it's fun,' Texeira said. 'It's always been part of my dream to stick in this game as long as I can. Reach out to lots of kids or players that I can share in the knowledge I've learned. I still get shocked sometimes, managing a Triple-A team, one step away from the big leagues. If it happens, it happens. If not, I'm still proud of what I've done and what I'm doing right now.' Texeira's selection to the Futures Game staff came via a text from Braves legend Chipper Jones. 'Chipper texted me and said, 'Hey, you want to coach third base?'' Texeira recalled. 'I said, 'Of course.' Then he said, 'Good, because you're going to be with me in the Futures Game.' I told him, 'I'd be stupid to say no to Chipper Jones, man. I got you.'' Growing up in Hawai'i, Texeira remembers watching the Braves daily on TBS, the only major league team regularly televised in the Islands at that time. '100%, 100%,' he said. 'We only could watch the Braves. Just Chipper, you know… I even got to face him when I played, toward the end of his career. That was big for me. Now you got Tim Hudson and a bunch of studs on the Futures Game staff. It's going to be fun, man.' Texeira is in his seventh year as a professional coach. Just last week, the Stripers celebrated 'Tex Day,' donning Aloha Friday jerseys in his honor, a tribute to his Hawaiian roots, nearly 5,000 miles away from the islands. The All-Star Futures Game showcases the top minor league talent from across baseball and is widely considered a preview of the game's next generation of stars. Texeira is proving he might just be one of the next coaching stars as well. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
