The Hawai’i offense improved in total offense and passing offense in each of those four seasons, producing the country’s 9th-ranked passing offense in 2018, the 5th-rated passing attack in 2019, and an offense that averaged over 30 points a game over those two years.

The Hawai’i offense earned 12 All-Mountain West selections in Stutzmann’s four seasons there. Urusa was a 2018 Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist and Polynesian Football Hall of Fame College Player of the Year Finalist. He was later selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in 2002 and his master’s degree in 2014, both at Hawai’i.
