Rodriguez commits to San Diego State

San Gorgonio offensive lineman/defensive lineman Paul Rodriguez verbally committed to San Diego State a couple of weeks ago according to San Gorgonio football coach Ron Gueringer. Rodriguez, a 6-foot-6, 240-pound senior, chose the Aztecs over offers from Washington State and Colorado State.

“He’s the first of hopefully many kids that we send off to Division I colleges,” Gueringer said. “I’m proud of him and what he did for this program. I know the San Diego State coaches came down a few weeks back to see him play and loved him. They had a great season and it’s a great place for Paul to go.”

Rodriguez starred on both offense and defense for the Spartans, who went 7-5 this season and finished second in the San Andreas League. San G advanced to the Central Division quarterfinals, where it was ousted by top-seeded Moreno Valley Rancho Verde. Gueringer thinks the Aztecs will use Rodriguez on the offensive line.

“That’s where I would guess,” Gueringer said. “He has a lot of potential with his frame to be a very good offensive lineman and I think he’s an all-area guy at that position.”
