Walz to Attend Georgetown

Corona del Mar quarterback Josh Walz has orally committed to attend Georgetown next year, where he will play Division I-AA football, he said Wednesday.

Walz, a Times all-county second-team selection, chose Georgetown for several reasons.

“I’ll get a great education, a chance to play right away, and also have a chance at quarterback,” he said. “I also like the Washington, D.C., area and they have a great business school.”

Walz, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound senior, passed for 1,442 yards and ran for 781, leading the Sea Kings to the Southern Section semifinals. He also played defensive back.
