WҪY9 <P>As an 18-year old true freshman, Chris was named Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; At this time, Chris weighed 275 pounds with 4.7 speed.</P> <P>By his sophoomore 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.&nbsp; 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 yards per carry.</P> <P>Chris is now fully recovered but head coach Ron McBride feels the need to push Chris to even higher levels.&nbsp; "Chris needs to become more disciplined in his everyday life.&nbsp; The little things need to be more important to him.&nbsp; Chris is a big play guy who has shown incredible potential, but one who can get even better.&nbsp; I liked what I saw in the spring.&nbsp; He became a much better blocker and missed fewer assignments."</P> <P>Chris took this charge by Coach McBride to heart.&nbsp; His weight had climbed to 295 and Offensive Coordinator, Fred Graves, began calling Chris everyday.&nbsp; "I came back to Utah last summer," said Chris, "because of Coach Graves.&nbsp; I promised him and I had to keep my promise.&nbsp; If you promise something you have an obligation to keep that promise."</P> <P>"Last summer I worked out harder than ever before.&nbsp; I got stronger really fast.&nbsp; I feel really light on my feet now that my weight is down to 268 pounds.&nbsp; I'm glad I came back.&nbsp; If everybody would see me workout, coach Graves told me, they would respect me more.&nbsp; It's also better to be leaner."&nbsp; Chris is now running a 4.6 forty with a 33 ft vertical jump.&nbsp; His strength is up to a 455 Bench, a 200 Squat, a 328 Power Clean and 345-pound Incline.</P> <P>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.&nbsp; We have 300 pounders in my neighborhood even quicker than I am."</P> <P>Chris realizes the importance of his education and what it means to his future.&nbsp; He turns his assignments in on time and has a 2.7 GPA.&nbsp; "I want to be a teacher and work with kids back home in Hawaii," said Chris.&nbsp; "A lot of kids are hard headed like me.&nbsp; The age I like best is from 10-12.&nbsp; That's when they start to change.&nbsp; In my neighborhood there are gangs and drugs.&nbsp; The last time I went home two kids got killed in a gang war right in front of my home.</P> <P>"I'd like to be an elementary school teacher and coach little league football."&nbsp; Chris feels little league would be more fun.&nbsp; "Whatever happens with money or pro ball, I'd still want to teach.&nbsp; I'm happy with a simple life."</P> <P>Chris would be also happy with a Luau everyday.&nbsp; He doesn't eat poi but does eat taro and bakes it like a potato.&nbsp; He doesn't particularly like food here on the mainland.&nbsp; Chris is trying to eat a lot of salads now to keep his weight down.&nbsp; "But it is real hard," admitted Chris.&nbsp; You should have seen Chris' eyes light up when I told him about the new BFS nutrition plan explained in this journal.</P> <P>"Chris has always
