| Originariamente all'Hawaii Bowl venivano premiati i giocatori che si erano maggiormente distinti durante la partita, appartenente alla squadra vincente e alla squadra perdente. Dopo la pausa determinata dalla pandemia di Covid-19 il titolo di "Migliore" viene assegnato ad un solo giocatore. Il premio è denominato Hugh Yoshida Most Valuable Premier Award in onore dell'ex direttore del programma atletico dell'Università di Hawaii. |
