Alex Austen - Aptos High School

 

Though most of our recruiting is done with early commits, we did add a few through Regular Decision that we're extremely excited about.  I'll be highlighting them in the coming days.

The first is Alex Austen, from Aptos High in northern California.  Alex played primarily as a left guard as a senior, but he did take snaps at right tackle as well.  Standing an impressive 6'05" and weighing in at 311 pounds, Alex brings much needed size to the interior of our offensive line.  A punishing run blocker, we're excited for the impact he'll have up front.  He also plans to throw for the track and field team in the spring.   He just recently broke 50 feet in the shot put, and has hovered around 140 feet all year in the disc.  Alex is a great get for us, and we can't wait to get him here in the Scarlet and Black!
