Pasco quarterback D.J. Clower and Pirates receiver Mitch Wozniak inked their names to letters of intent Wednesday morning.

Clower, who completed 86 of 172 passes for 1,525 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions, will play football for North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, N.C.

Meanwhile Wozniak will take his wares to the southern part of the state and play for Florida International University. He snatched 19 receptions for 352 yards and three scores, making him the third-leading receiver in the Pirates offense.

“It seems like it took forever, but once it got here, it got here pretty quick, so I’m excited about that,” Clower said about his opportunity to play college football.

During his visit to North Carolina A&T, he saw snow for the first time. Clower also had an offer from Florida A&M.

As for Wozniak, it was important for him to stay in Florida and admits, even that four hour drive south is plenty.

“I’m extremely blessed to be in this position,” Wozniak said. “I really do give all the glory to God. I’m just glad all the hard work over the last year has paid off. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit for a college. I’m just very appreciative.”

Pasco coach Tom McHugh expects several more of his players to make their way to college rosters in the coming weeks.
