COLLEGE SIGNINGS : Mater Dei Lineman Matt Motherway Picks Stanford

January 18, 1995|CHRIS FOSTER

Mater Dei's Matt Motherway, The Times Orange County lineman of the year, has made an oral commitment to attend Stanford, Dede Motherway, his mother, said Tuesday.

Motherway, a 6-foot-4, 264-pound offensive lineman, committed Sunday during his official visit. He had visits scheduled for UCLA and Colorado.

This past season, Motherway was a big reason the Monarchs won the Southern Section Division I championship. He anchored an offensive line that averaged 257 pounds.

The linemen wore down Los Alamitos in a 28-24 victory in the semifinals and then manhandled top-seeded La Puente Bishop Amat, 28-21, in the championship game.

Motherway is the youngest of four sons. All were linemen at Mater Dei; two played at UCLA and another at Princeton.

Motherway was a starter since midway through his sophomore season and a two-time All-South Coast League selection. He also played on the defensive line this season.
