EL PASO, Texas (KFOX 14, CBS4) — Franklin offensive lineman Justin Morales and Eric Sandoval both signed with Division I schools on Wednesday during the early signing period.
The pair led a Franklin offense that rushed for over 400 yards per game this past season.
Morales, a 4-star, signed with Arizona. The senior recently flipped, after previously being committed to Kansas State.
“When I took a visit to UofA, I saw the team and the people,” Morales said. “I vibed with everybody and that is why I flipped. It is closer to home and I feel more of a family connection there.”
Sandoval is staying home in El Paso and signing with UTEP. He joins a revamped offensive line unit for the Miners as they make the jump to the Mountain West Conference.
“My whole family is born and raised in El Paso,” Sandoval said. “I’m excited to help build a better team and better myself.”
Franklin is expected to have more signings in the spring window.
