Anthony Lawrence stayed close to home for college. Despite receiving interest from the University of Pennsylvania and Yale, the La Mesa, California native elected to attend and play quarterback at the nearby University of San Diego — just a 12 mile or so drive from where he grew up. Playing in front of friends and family during almost every home game, he went on to have an illustrious and lengthy career as a Torero that is nearly beyond compare within the program, a career that saw him become both the USD and Pioneer Football League (PFL)’s all-time leading passer among countless other accolades.
