Former University of Hawai’i WR Chad Owens was honored and inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame this past Saturday.

Owens played for the Rainbow Warriors from 2001 to 2004, amassing 239 receptions for 3,031 yards and 29 touchdowns. As a freshman in 2001, he earned FWAA Freshman All-American honors for his 807 kick return yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, he was named a second-team All-American with 102 catches, 1,290 yards, and 17 touchdowns. He holds the record for the most all-purpose yards in Hawaii’s history with 5,461 yards.

Owens led the team in receiving in 2003 and 2004, catching passes from current UH head coach Timmy Chang.

After college, Owens was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2005 before transitioning to the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 2009. He found success with the Toronto Argonauts from 2010 to 2015, winning the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award in 2012 with 3,863 all-purpose yards and helping the team win the Grey Cup. Owens was also a four-time CFL All-Star.
