FOOTBALL ANNOUNCES FOUR MID-YEAR SIGNINGS |
  With the early signing period passed, the Cerritos College football team has announced that four of their players have signed with four-year universities and are already attending classes at their new colleges. Heading that list is All-American sophomore tight end Clark Evans (Los Alamitos HS), who signed with the University of Hawaii. Sophomore strong safety Daniel Roundtree (American Heritage, FL HS) has inked with Southern Methodist University, while sophomore linebacker Dominick Sierra (La Habra HS) will be playing at Northern Colorado University. The fourth signing is sophomore offensive lineman Brandon Davidson (Long Beach Millikan HS), who has signed with Benedictine (KS) College.
Evans, who transferred to the Falcons from the University of Colorado, had a flair for making acrobatic catches during the season, as the Falcons captured their second straight Northern Conference championship and appearance in the Southern California championship game. After finishing the season with 31 receptions for 444 yards (14.3 average) and a team-high nine touchdowns, Evans was named 1st Team California Community College Football Coaches Association All-American. He will be joining a Hawaii team that just named Norm Chow as their head coach and are coming off a 6-7 season. The previous coaching staff did not employ a tight end, and Evans will be looked upon as one of their main options from that position next season.
One of the leaders of the secondary, Roundtree finished the season tied for fourth on the team with 46 tackles, while he also had four tackles for loss and a pair of pass breakups. A transfer from El Camino College, Roundtree is the first Falcon to sign with SMU since Steve Eades in 1974, and joins a secondary that loses five players to graduation. Last season, SMU posted an 8-5 record and defeated Pittsburgh, 28-6 in the BBVA Compass Bowl. They finished 5-3 in the Conference USA East Division.
Sierra finished the year with 37 tackles and was third on the team with seven tackles for loss and fourth with seven quarterback hurries. He was also a key member of the special teams squad while starting at linebacker. Sierra will help turn around a Northern Colorado team that went 0-11 last year and played with a very young linebacker group. Davidson helped anchor an offensive line that saw the Falcons roll up a school-record 4,943 yards on the season and average 28.9 points a game. He will be joining a Benedictine team that went 9-3 last year and advanced to the NAIA Championship Series, where they were defeated by #3-seeded Georgetown (KY) College, 21-7. The team loses three offensive linemen that earned All-Heart of America Athletic Conference honors.. |
