If the name sounds familiar, it should: Julian is the younger brother of offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, who enrolled at Arizona in January and is likely to start as a true freshman.
Julian Savaiinaea plays on the other side of the ball. He is listed at 6-3, 241 pounds, and is rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports. He also holds offers from Hawaii, San Diego State and San Jose State.
Savaiinaea joins athlete Gavin Hunter and linebacker Kamuela Kaaihue as the third Hawaiian in the Wildcatsโ 2023 class, which now has 14 members and is ranked 30th nationally by 247Sports.
