Grosfeld is entering his 15th
season at Cerritos College and is serving
his fourth year as the Offensive
Coordinator. Grosfeld was a former
record-setting Falcon quarterback who has
great knowledge of the game. He turned down
a graduate assistant position at Utah State
University after graduation to come home and
work with the Falcon quarterbacks. He still
holds the single-game record for most
passing yards with 388 against Mt. San
Antonio in 1991. His 25 pass completions
against Palomar that same season are also
still the second most ever in a Falcon game.
Grosfeld earned his Bachelor’s degree in
Exercise Science with a minor in Health from
Utah State University and the completed his
Master's degree from Azusa Pacific
University in Education and Physical
Education.

signing a free agent contract in the
National Football League six years ago. Mike
Harrison went on to Louisiana State
University and graduated, while Glenn DeBerg
played at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Michael Keeling went on to play at Eastern
Illinois University, while Kevin Brown
earned a scholarship to San Jose State
University. Chad Manis earned a scholarship
to the University of Utah, while last year’s
starter, AJ Toscano is now playing at
College of Charleston.
Grosfeld, a local product
from St. John Bosco High School, was a wide
receiver that played in the CIF Championship
game at Anaheim Stadium in his sophomore
season. He moved to quarterback his junior
season and was named his team's captain, and
even threw for 460 yards against Long Beach
Poly. He earned All-Del Rey League honors
while receiving his team's Coaches Award.
After high school,
Grosfeld came to Cerritos, where he set the
school's single-season passing record at
1,917 yards (since broken). Playing on the
1991 Mission Conference Championship team,
Grosfeld was named All-Mission Conference as
well as earning the team's Captain Award and
Offensive BYA of the Year Award. After
Cerritos, Grosfeld earned a scholarship to
Utah State University, where his team won
the Big West Championship and won the Silver
Bowl. Grosfeld says that he admires his
mother for her courage and integrity.

as the college’s interim Athletic Director
in the spring of 2009, is a full-time
instructor on campus, teaching Health and
Physical Education classes. Grosfeld, 37,
