Four Football Prospects Announce Decisions

Ernie Rogers of Fontana, Curtis Hein of Taft and Larry Vladic of Diamond Bar have given verbal commitments to Pacific 10 Conference schools while record-setting running back Ray Pallares of Placentia Valencia said he will attend Cal State Long Beach.

USC landed Hein, a wide receiver-defensive back who played much of last season with a thigh and bicep injury. Rogers, one of the best tight ends in Southern California and a projected offensive lineman in college, will go to Cal. Vladic, a linebacker-strong safety, said he will go to Oregon State.

However, the Trojans are still waiting for a decision from all-state defensive back Rodney Winston from Alabama, who is also considering Arkansas.
