STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY - Quarterback Tyler Ferguson (Bakersfield, Calif.) has signed a national letter of intent to play football at Penn State and plans to enroll in the University in January. He will be eligible to play during the 2013 season.

He completed better than 55 percent of his passes and was the second-leading passer in the CCCAA's Central Valley Conference.

He threw for 1,275 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. Ridgeview competes in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Central Section's Division III.
