The Hawaii football team\u2019s hurry-up offense just got faster.<\/p>\n
Joey Farthing, a wideout who was at Youngstown (Ohio) State the past three years, has accepted a scholarship offer from the Rainbow Warriors.<\/p>\n
Farthing is 6 feet 4, 200 pounds and was laser-timed at 4.32 seconds over 40 yards during testing at Youngstown State. He also was clocked at 10.74 seconds over 100 meters in high school. He will compete at wideout in the four-wide offense, and have three seasons of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally just like the culture,\u201d Farthing said of his decision. \u201cAnd the faith aspect. It\u2019s an amazing fit. I like the run-and-shoot offense. I really connected with (receivers) Coach (Jared) Ursua, and the other coaches. I connected with some of the players over the phone. It really seemed like home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Farthing completed his recruiting trip to Hawaii on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cObviously, the beach wasn\u2019t anything like I\u2019d ever seen. The people really made it special for me. The food was amazing. I had some really good steaks, and some good Hawaiian food. I couldn\u2019t tell you the name, but it was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farthing returned to Ohio on Monday morning. It will be quick turnaround. He is due to report to UH next week for the start of the summer strength\/conditioning program.<\/p>\n
Farthing grew up in Strasburg, Ohio, but attended Dover High. As a senior, he received several track offers, but decided to commit to Youngstown State\u2019s football program.<\/p>\n
He redshirted as a freshman in 2002, then played in 13 games in 2023. Last season, he suffered a hip injury in August. After playing against Villanova, he was shut down for the rest of the season. He underwent surgery for the torn labrum in December. \u201cI\u2019m fully rehabbed now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Seeking other opportunities, Farthing entered the transfer portal. Ursua was one of several coaches to contact Farthing. Farthing turned to prayer to decide where to attend. Later that day, he and his girlfriend went to lunch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sitting next to a guy wearing a \u2018Hawaii\u2019 shirt,\u201d Farthing recalled. \u201cThis must be it. This must be a sign.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hawaii football team\u2019s hurry-up offense just got faster.
