Anderson picks up offers to Navy, Rice

The recruiting of Plano West junior running back Auston Anderson continues to heat up.

Anderson received his first official offer Feb. 6, Signing Day for the Class of 2013, when Northwestern came calling. Add Rice and Navy to that list with the former offering Feb. 15 and the latter Monday afternoon.

The interest in Anderson makes sense.

The 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was a first team all-district and all-Collin County selection after rushing for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns.

West already has one Class of 2014 commit as linebacker Lance Cottrell is pledged to SMU.

Groselle a Senior CLASS finalist

Groselle has the highest field goal percentage in the 102-year history of the program and is the all-time leader in career double-doubles (25) and single season double-doubles (14 in 2011-12).

Groselle has done well off the court too.
