He was also an honorable mention all-WAC running back, Utah s New Comer of the Year and Most Inspirational Offensive Player as he led the Utes in rushing at nearly 76 yards per game. At this time, Chris weighted 275 pounds with 4.7 speed.<br>By his sophomore year, Chris was 280 pounds and a First-team all-WAC running back despite missing three games due to knee surgery (arthroscopic surgery) to repair torn knee cartilage. He was voted Utah MVP by his teammates and averaged 122.8 yards per game which was the second most in school history for a career average of 95.5 rushing yards per game and 5.9 yards per carry.<br>Chris is now fully recovered but head coach Ron McBride feels the need to push Chris to even higher levels.  Chris needs to become more disciplined in his everyday life. The little things need to be more important to him. Chris is a big play guy who has shown incredible potential, but one who can get even better. I liked what I saw in the spring. He became a much better blocker and missed fewer assignments. <br>Chris took this charge by Coach McBride to heart. His weight had climbed to 295 and Offensive Coordinator, Fred Graves, began calling Chris everyday.  I came back to Utah last summer, said Chris,  because of Coach Graves.  I promised him and I had to keep my promise. If you promise something, you have an obligation to keep that promise. <br> Last summer I worked out harder than ever before. I got stronger really fast. I feel really light on my feet now that my weight is down to 268 pounds. I m glad I came back. If everybody would see me workout, coach Graves told me, they would respect me more. It s also better to be leaner. Chris is now running a 4.6 forty with a 33 vertical jump. His strength is up to a 455 Bench, a 200 Squat, a 328 Power Clean and 345-pound Incline.<br> Chris shook his head,  I don t think anything when people say that I m so fast being so big because I have so many friends that can do the same thing. We have 300 pounders in my neighborhood even quicker than I am. <br>Chris realizes the importance of his education and what it means to his future. He turns his assignments in on time and has a 2.7 GPA.  I want to be a teacher and work with kids back home in Hawaii, said Chris.  A lot of kids are hard headed like me. The age I like best is from 10 to 12. That s when they start to change. In my neighborhood there are gangs and drugs. The last time I went home two kids got killed in a gang war right in front of my home.<br> I d like to be an elementary school teacher and coach little league football. Chris feels little league would be more fun.  Whatever happens with money or pro ball, I d still want to teach. I m happy with a simple life. <br>Chris would be also happy with a Luau everyday. He doesn t eat poi but does eat taro and bakes it like a potato. He doesn t particularly like food here on the mainland. Chris is trying to eat a lot of salads now to keep his weight down.  But it is real hard, admitted Chris. You should have seen Chris eyes light up when I told him about the new BFS nutrition plan explained in this journal.<br> Chris has always tried to keep himself clean as far as drugs and alcohol.  I have never had a drink in high school or here at Utah, confided Chris.  My whole life people have always asked me to drink. But if people push you about i
