Hawaii slotback Greg Salas, a standout defensive back in high school, could see some action in the secondary this fall.

UH head coach Greg McMackin said the staff is considering using the All-WAC receiver at safety in passing situations.

“;If it's a third-down (and long) situation I wouldn't hesitate to put him in, read the quarterback's eyes and make a play on the ball,”; said McMackin.

Salas played a few downs on defense last season when the Warriors were guarding against a long pass at the end of a half. McMackin said Salas' role would be limited to where it wouldn't “;take away from what he does at receiver.”;
