GLENDALE -- With the winter break at most colleges and universities
many students have returned to classes.
For four Glendale Community College football players, they have
returned, but rather changed schools.
Those players, quarterback Mike Frost, receiver Chad Heydorff, tight
end Brian Gelt and offensive lineman Taylor Ketchum have all signed
letters of intent to play at Division I universities.
Frost who passed for a state-leading 3,405 yards, 30 touchdowns and 16
interceptions, has signed with Temple University. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound
signal caller from Ayala High in Chino Hills completed 221 of 372 passes
and earned first-team All-State and All-Western State Conference honors.
Heydorff, who was named to the JC-Grid Wire All-America first team,
has signed with UC Berkeley.
The 6-1, 180 pounder receiver from St. Francis High, led the state
with 86 receptions for 1,616 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Gelt, a 6-4, 230-pound tight end from Canyon High, signed with San
Diego State after being named to the Western State Conference's first
team.
Ketchum, who like Heydorff attended St. Francis High, is headed to
Ohio University.
The 6-2, 285-pound lineman earned second-team All-Western State
Conference honors.
GCC offensive lineman Eddie Martinez could become the fifth Vaquero
this season to sign with a Division I school.
Martinez, a 6-4, 285-pound offensive lineman from Diamond Bar High has
made an oral commitment to UC Berkeley, but will have to complete his
transfer requirements this semester.
