Standout running back Qu'Ran Gossett has accepted a full scholarship to play football at the University of Texas at El Paso, and five of his Bishop Diego High teammates also signed national letters of intent Wednesday during a ceremony at the school gymnasium.
Pasefika Salatielu and Su'e Luamanu, a pair of hefty linemen, will head up Highway 101 to Cal Poly, while a trio of Cardinals — quarterback AJ Vele, lineman Toa Evagelia, and fullback/linebacker Nolan Fouvale — will attend Arizona Christian University.
Gossett had considered an offer to try out for the Cal Bears as a preferred walk-on, and he did not reveal his choice until he put a UTEP cap on his head. The offer of a full ride convinced him to go with the Miners.
