Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullins


Future NFLers and former University of Hawai‘i Warriors slotbacks Davone Bess (left) and Ryan Grice-Mullins (right) were gracious to speak at one of Hope968's Sunday services at the end of the 2006 season. Bess recently announced that he will make himself eligible for the 2008 NFL draft. Grice-Mullins also signed with an agent, after both received an evaluation from an NFL scouting team. With both slotbacks signing with agents, they gave up their NCAA eligibility.

Both Bess and Grice-Mullins decided to forego their senior season, and apply for the 2008 NFL draft. Both slotbacks hold several Warriors records in receiving statistics during their time at UH. With these two slotbacks leaving the Warriors, the core receivers of the 2007 season are no longer there, with wide receivers CJ Hawthorne and Jason Rivers are graduating seniors.

Davone gave his testimony of his high school football games, past trouble with the law, and most of all, his walk with Christ. Ryan also gave his testimony about growing up in southern California, and his decision to come to Hawai‘i. They also spoke about how the Warriors bonded through the Christian faith in the 2006 season, and it really showed this past season as well.

I hope and pray that both Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullins get drafted, and that they will be a blessing to whichever team picks them up. Thanks for the memories of the three seasons we got to watch them play.
