805 rising

Nico Lima of Camarillo signed his letter of intent with San Jose State on Wednesday, Feb. 4, making him among 22 Central Coast football players signing on to a four-year college's football program for the class of 2015 (photo by Lorenzo J. Reyna). 

Two years ago, the Central Coast of California only had 13 players signing a national letter of intent to extend their football career at the college level.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, the number rose to 22 prep stars.

From Paso Robles to Newbury Park, the 805 had a respectable National Signing Day with football prospects signing on with the likes of Oregon, USC, Arizona, Cal, Nebraska, San Jose State, Wake Forest, etc.
