HONOLULU (AP) -- He spends hours on the football field, but his feet never touch the turf. His specialty is dissecting offenses, but he's never played a down.
Meet Brian Kajiyama, a first-year graduate assistant for Hawaii who was born with cerebral palsy, scoots around in a motorized wheelchair and communicates by typing into a small computer that speaks in a robotic voice.
As a member of the coach June Jones' staff, Kajiyama is responsible for breaking down game film and preparing scouting reports for the defense.
