The Polynesian Football Hall of Fame unveiled its Class of 2019 on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018. Four Inductees were selected from a list of 12 Finalists.

The Class of 2019 includes Joe Salave’a, Dan Saleaumua, Lofa Tatupu and Marques Tuiasosopo.

“On behalf of our Board of Directors, we congratulate the Class of 2019,” said Jesse Sapolu, Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Chairman, Co-Founder and Inductee. “Their accomplishments on and off the field make each of them truly worthy of this recognition.”

​The Inductees were selected from a field of over 200 nominees by the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee which includes Coaches Dick Tomey (Chairman), Ron McBride and Dick Vermeil, past NFL player and Inaugural Inductee Olin Kreutz, past NFLPA President and Inaugural Inductee Kevin Mawae, former NFL Player and Class of 2015 Inductee Ray Schoenke, ESPN Sportscaster Neil Everett, NFL Network writer and commentator Steve Wyche, and Honolulu Sportscaster Robert Kekaula.  In addition to the Selection Committee, all living Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Inductees cast a vote to select the Inductees.

The Class of 2019 will be honored during the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend and during the Polynesian Bowl on January 18 & 19, 2019. The Polynesian High School, College and Professional Players of Year honorees will be announced later this year.
