HONOLULU (AP) — Bryant Moniz has been delivering for a long time, way before tossing touchdown passes as Hawaii’s star quarterback.
After a season at junior college, Moniz returned to the islands and spent nearly two years delivering pizzas to support his newborn daughter as he walked on at Hawaii.
Moniz eventually earned a scholarship, which helped him leave the pizza business and focus more time being a father and a football player. Moniz is now expected to deliver one thing in his senior season — wins.
He broke out last year, leading the nation in passing yards and touchdowns.
Moniz says he’s confident, anxious to get the season started and isn’t paying too much to all the added expectations or attention.
Hawaii opens the season Saturday at home against Colorado.
