Garfield's Coleman commits to Cal

A KING5 exclusive out of Garfield high school. Defensive tackle Deandre Coleman and his family tells KING 5 tonight that Deandre is verbally commiting to Cal. Coleman is the top football prospect in the Northwest. He will play in January's U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Coleman credits Cal's D-line coach Tosh Lupoi for talking him into attending the Berkeley school. Here's rivals.com's bio on Coleman.


The 6'4" 285-pounder initially committed to the Huskies. But when the Dawgs struggled this season and Tyrone Willigham's future at Montlake looked dim, Coleman decided to look at other schools. He feels Cal is the right choice for him. Coleman likes that the Bears are a winning program with seniors to help guide him. Cal will make the announcement tomorrow.

He will live to regret that he did not go to Oregon State. Riley's troops and coaches could have been his next step to the NFL.
Cal is always an also-ran..
But what can you say about someone who was committed to UW, and Willingham in the first place..??

Great victory in the Rose Bowl today by those first-rate Beavers.
