Another Linebacker Will Attend SDSU, Sit Out Year

Tom Riley, an all-league linebacker from St. Paul High in Santa Fe Springs, will attend San Diego State this fall.

But because he lacks the number of core classes under the NCAA’s Proposition 48 guidelines, he will not be allowed to play or practice with the Aztecs this season and will lose a year of eligibility.

It was announced Thursday that George Tuioti, an All-Orange County linebacker from Santa Ana, would follow the same course.

Riley, 6-feet 2-inches and 230 pounds, played linebacker and fullback for St. Paul in the division 5-A Angelus League.

Freshman and transfer players report for physicals Sunday. Two-a-day practices begin Monday.

In addition to Dominique Wilkins, Michael Cage, Cliff Levingston, Karl Malone and Spud Webb, several new names have been added for the Seagram’s Coolers All-Star Classic Friday night at the Sports Arena.
