QB Nick Crissman commits

Nick Crissman received an offer from Karl Dorrell on Friday and the Edison quarterback wasted no time in making a verbal commitment to the Bruins. Bruin Blitz reported that offensive coordinator Jay Norvell went out and visited the high schools' of several of the area's top quarterbacks this week. The coaches spent weeks researching which local quarterbacks to offer and Crissman was high on the list

Earlier this year, Karl Dorrell said he would like to take just one quarterback each recruiting season. With such a large class in 2008, we'll have to wait and see if he sticks with that plan. Crissman, who is a 6'3" 200 lbs pro-style QB, looks to be a solid pickup for Norvell and Dorrell.

Nick had a breakout season as a Junior and it earned him a spot on the All-Orange County 2nd team as well as Offensive Back of the Year honors in the Sunset Leaue. His OCVarsity profile records Crissman racking up some great numbers last year. 3015 yards, 27 TD, 11 INT, 231-367 (63%). Crissman also made Rivals 250 to watch list for next season.
