orrington signs also
Aggies sign Bryan trio
by John Wagner
Sports Editor
nea _ he Texas Aggies, bolstered
J a covey of quarterback sig-
and several last-minute
^—-ges, pulled off one of their
itai 1 recruiting efforts ever as
ling day opened this
rning.
The Aggies should sign five
e 19 members of the Dallas
'iwt-s Herald’s bluechip list.
Tit list is voted on by SWC
fthes, and a player must be
m«l on four oallots to make
squad.
exas A&M should also sign
of the Top 30 recruits as
d by Texas Football and 19
[he Top 90.
s of 9:00 this morning, the
ieshad signed eight players,
ding the Bryan High trio of
Bernstine, Todd Howard
James Flowers. Texas A&M
lad also signed A&M Consoli-
ited High’s Kip Corrington.
Ill four players were highly
ought recruits, and their sign-
igwith the Aggies represents a
Deal sweep for Texas A&M.
Hie other players who signed
nth Texas A&M before today’s
eadline include Terrence
Ifoods, a wide receiver from
louston Sterling, Rod Saddler,
defensive end from Columbia
ligh in Columbia, Ga., Jay Mul-
!r] a defensive end from Gon-
oeand Keith Woodside, a rim
ing back from Vidalia, La.
Bryan’s Rod Bernstine
signs with Texas A&M
Coach Jackie Sherrill also
went after quarterbacks — and
got them. Texas A&M is ex
pected to sign five top-rated
quarterbacks, including the No.
1 prospect, Craig Stump of Port
Arthur Jefferson. Stump threw
for 2,088 yards and 18 touch
downs during his senior season
at Jefferson. He was a Parade
High School all-American and a
member of the National High
School Coaches Association all-
America team.
. Along with Stump, the Aggies
are expected to of have already
signed Houston Lamar’s Paul
Gasper, A&M Consoliciated’s
Corrington, Eastland’s Jay Hess.
Todd Howard of Bryan
an Aggie signee also
and Hempstead’s Johnny Hol
land.
Corrington, an all-state selec
tion at defensive back, could
possibly be switched to make
better use of his talents.
The signing of Louisiana all
stater Woodside, a 6-0, 195-
pound halfback from Vidalia
High, is an important one for
the Aggies. Woodside has 4.5
speed, and rushed for 2,040
yards last season despite missing
eight quarters of play. He was
the leading rushing in the state,
and was heavily recruited by sev
eral colleges, especially LSU.
Bernstine, Bryan High’s all-
state running back, was a late
commitment to Texas A&M.
The 6-3, 220-pound running
back was a second team all-stater
and rushed for 1,004 yards on
168 carries last season.
Bernstine decided on the
Aggies early, but a late recruit
ing effort by SMU almost
changed his mind. He didn’t
commit until Tuesday.
Another blue-chip back Sher
rill wil sign is Tomball’s Roger
Vick, a 6-3, 210-pound rusher.
Vick was the leading rusher in
the Greater Houston area last
fall with 1,465 yards.
Vick can also catch the ball.
Last season he caught 10 passes
for 91 yards, and four of those
went for touchdowns.
The Aggies also should sign
two excellent receiving pros
pects in wide receiver Greg Dil
lon from Klein and tight end
Sylvester Morgan from Houston
Yates to go along with Woods.
Morgan is a suprise entry into
the Aggie camp, because of the
hard rush Texas put on. The
Longhorns were expected to
sign Morgan, but couldn’t.
Linemen Muller of Conroe
and Howard of Bryan lead the
way in defensive signees. Ho
ward led 5A linemen in all-state
voting, and Muller was also an
all-state selection.
Howard was a late Aggie
pledge, giving his verbal com
mitment late Thursday night.
The Aggies were expected to
gather about 28 signatures on
national letters-of-intent today.

United Press International
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M —
Highland High School’s Marc
Scott, UPTs 1982 Class AAAA
prep back of the year in New
Mexico, says he will sign a na
tional football letter-of-intent
with Rice University.
“Playing the competition
they do really got me up,” said
the 6-foot, 195-pound run
ning back, who was the state’s
leading rusher, with 1,275
yards last season. “I always
wanted to play someplace that
was going to challenge me.”
Rice, a member of the
Southwest Conference, was
winless last season.
In choosing Rice, Scott
turned down a recruiting bid
by the University of New
Mexico.
Several other New Mexico
prep stars, who turned down
New Mexico in favor of other
schools, are running back
Mike Toliver and offensive
tackle Steve Young, both of
Albuquerque’s Eldorado
High School, and Artesia
quarterback Scott Runyan.
Toliver said he probably
will go to the Air Force
Academy to which he was
nominated by Sen. Pete
Domenici, R-N.M., and for
mer Sen. Harrison Schmitt, R-
N.M. “It was a hard decision,”
he said, “but even if I didn’t
play football I’d still have a
scholarship.”
Young said he was plan
ning to go to New Mexico
State, whose coaches “really
impressed” him. “I think they
can turn things around,” said
the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder,
who also rejected a bid from
Arizona.
Runyan, who led Artesia to
two state titles, will'matricu
late at Wyoming, returning to
the state where he lived before
coming to New Mexico as a
freshman at Artesia.
He said he was told he
would play quarterback and
see some playing time as a
freshman. Runyan, who pick
ed Wyoming over Utah, also
visited New Mexico and Col
orado State.
Also planning to play at
NMSU is Carlsbad’s Sam
Roberson, a 5-foot-10, 160-
pound wide receiver, and
John McGough, a 6-foot-2,
195-pound lineman who play
ed linebacker and tight end
for the Cavemen.
In other SWC recruiting
news, University of Arkansas
officials are saying quite a few
Texas athletes should sign
with the Razorbacks today.
Reports indicate the Razor-
backs fared well in recruiting
after last season’s 9-2-1 re
cord, and Arkansas coaches
have been recruiting several
athletes from outside the
Arkansas borders.
One out-of-state lineman
reported to be signing with
Arkansas is Chris Bequette, a
6-2, 245-pound center from
Crystal City, Mo. Bequette’s
father, George, and brother,
Jay, both played with the
Razorbacks
Other linemen who should
sign with Arkansas include
Monroe Mitchell, a 6-5, 265-
pounder from Liberty, and
Jason Sutter, a 6-4, 230-
pounder from Beatrice, Neb.
Four other out-of-state de
fensive players have indicated
their intentions to possibly
sign with Arkansas. They in
clude Anthony Cherico, a 6-1,
220-pound defensive end
from Shawnee Mission, Kan.;
Joey Shields, a 6-1, 235-
pound linebacker from Gale
na Park; Clinton Wilson, a 6-
3, 275-pound defensive line
man from Fort Worth South
west High, and Eric Whitted,
a 6-2, 195-pound linebacker
from Richardson Lake High
lands.
Offensive players heavily
recruited by Arkansas coaches
include Donnie Centers, a 6-0,
165-pound wide receiver
from Longview; Marshall
Foreman, a 5-10, 180-pound
running back from Cypress-
Fairbanks in Houston; Gregg
McKinney, a 6-0, 180-pound
running back from Van Al-
styne, Texas, and Calvin Wil
liams, a 6-5, 220-pound tight
end from Greenville.
