La Costa QB chooses North Dakota State
By: SCOTT BAIR - Staff Writer
Jose Mohler didn't want to commit right away. North Dakota State University had just offered a full scholarship to the La Costa Canyon High quarterback, but Mohler wanted to mull it over before making a final decision.
It was near freezing during his recruiting trip and the school was a long way from home, but the Bisons were also one of the best NCAA Division I Championship Subdivision schools in the nation. At some point during the flight back home, Mohler arrived at a decision.
"I just hit me all of a sudden," Mohler said. "I was sitting on the plane and I thought, 'I can totally see myself playing there.' "
Monday night, Mohler made it official with a verbal commitment to play for North Dakota State -- ranked No. 6 overall with a 10-1 record in 2007 -- next season.
"It was quite frigid when I went there," Mohler said. "But other than that, it was a great fit. The players were all really great, they play in a dome and the coaches said I'd have a chance to contribute pretty soon. I can't wait to get started."
