La Habra offensive tackle Jason Koontz, 17, has committed to attend Colorado State this fall, Coach Rick Milhizer said. A two-year starter who earned All-Freeway League honors this season, the 6-6, 250-pound Koontz also considered at San Diego State and Utah State.
“He probably was the lineman here with the most college potential,” Milhizer said. “A great pass blocker.”
