Junior college QB Stanton commits to UNLV

(Las Vegas Review-Journal)

The battle to become UNLV's next starting quarterback just became more intense.

Johnny Stanton of Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif., said Sunday night he had committed to the Rebels.

"I liked what Coach (Tony) Sanchez is trying to do at the school," Stanton said. "He's bringing a winning mindset. He really knows what it's like to win in Las Vegas. He's doing all the things you need to do to turn around the program."

Stanton spent his first two seasons at Nebraska before transferring to Saddleback. At Nebraska, he played under Barney Cotton and John Garrison.
