Saugus QB Desi Rodriguez has received an offer from Army, according to Scout.com. The Northern Division Offensive Team selection passed for 1,256 yards and 12 TDs last year for the Centurions, which advanced all the way to the divisional semifinals.

Saugus Coach Jason Bornn said Rodriguez is considering Army, but has not started the progress toward becoming a cadet.

Rodriguez and 2,000-yard menace Ryan Zirbel will be the Foothill League‘s most-formidable offensive duo next fall. It’ll be interesting to see how they cope being paired with a fresh-faced defensive contingent that’s lost all of its starters.

‘There’s a lot of question marks right now,’ Bornn said. ‘Hopefully, we’ll plug in all the holes over the summer.’

And speaking of Foothill League standouts, I’m really glad to hear Canyon WR Stephen Wirthlin is doing OK after breaking his neck in a car accident. The only really big bummer (besides having a broken neck) is his doctor told him he shouldn’t play sports for the next two years. That hurts.
