Isaiah was the high school steer wrestling state champion in his junior year and the high school steer wrestling district champion in his senior year. Naauao-Asing was also a member of Team Hawaii at the National High School Finals Rodeo.

Naauao-Asing is the son of Malia Asing and the grandson of Debbie & Berry Uyetake.

While at MCC, Isaiah plans to major in Equine Studies.

Isaiah on attending MCC: "A friend attending MCC recommended this school for me, so I came up to Montana on my spring break and checked out the campus, the arena, and met the rodeo coach. I enjoyed every bit of the time spent practicing with the rodeo team and it made me feel like I was at home."

Coach Badgett on Naauao-Asing: "Isaiah is an amazing talent! They definitely have some great cowboys in Hawaii. He will be a great addition to the team."
