Kevin Frank has reversed field, and Deonte Williams and Cary Grossart have gone from Delta River Valley League rivals to sudden teammates - all that becoming official when the football players sign their national letters of intent Feb. 6.
One of the state's top recruits at defensive back, Frank of Elk Grove High School announced he rescinded his verbal commitment to Boise State to accept an offer from Washington State. He chose the Cougars over not only Boise State but also Sacramento State, Nebraska, San Diego State and Fresno State.
Williams, a tailback at Pleasant Grove, and Grossart, a Folsom quarterback, have given verbal commitments to Northern Arizona of the Big Sky Conference. Williams was The Bee's Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 2,447 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2007. Grossart shattered passing records with the Bulldogs, throwing for 3,046 yards in 10 games.
"I am excited that we're both going there," Williams said. "We were rivals, and now we're friends. Cary's my boy. We're going to do great things there."
Elsewhere, offensive lineman Aaron Colldeweih and linebacker Ryan Rau of Folsom have given verbal commitments to UC Davis and Portland State, respectively. Rau led the Sac-Joaquin Section in tackles and was conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Del Oro defensive end/tight end Ryan Otten has given a verbal commitment to San Jose State, and teammate Jack Reynoso, a two-way lineman, is bound for Nevada. Franklin lineman Maika Maumau is headed to Sac State.
