Solomon Signs with Nevada

West Covina's Chris Solomon

(West Covina) – West Covina running back Chris Solomon signed with Nevada Wednesday. Solomon took a trip to Colorado and was very impressed with the program but ultimately inked with Nevada. 

Solomon shined as a running back at West Covina but played defensive back as well. Last year he rushed for over 1400 yards and 23 touchdowns but he also had 24 tackles (46 assisted). Solomon, 6′-1″, 191 has been recruited mainly as a DB but could play running back as well for Nevada.

“This is a great opportunity for him. I’m proud of him and he’s going to have a great career on the field but more importantly he’ll take care of business in the class room and get that degree,” said West Covina Coach Mike Maggiore. “I have just become a Nevada fan. They got a top level player that will make a big impact on their program.”
