EL DORADO, Kan. — Zach Mettenberger is going back to the SEC.

The nation's top junior college quarterback signed a scholarship with LSU on National Junior College Signing Day, Wednesday. He had many suitors but narrowed his choices down to Texas A&M and LSU before going with the Tigers.

Mettenberger threw for 2,678 yards and 32 touchdowns, breaking the Butler single season touchdown record in his only season with the Grizzlies.

He will have three years remaining at LSU and is expected to enroll in January.

Jayhawk Conference defensive player of the year Cornellius Carradine signed with Florida State. The dominating defensive end also had his pick of the litter, including K-State, but went with the Seminoles.

One of Mettenberger's favorite targets in 2010, Marcus Kennard, will head down to Lubbock, Texas by signing with Texas Tech. The 6'4" Oklahoma native led the Grizzlies with over 900 yards receiving and 13 touchdown catches.

Heights alum Ian Knight heads west by signing with Washington State on Wednesday and Angelo Hadley signed with the University of South Florida.

Victor Daniels signed with Murray State, Lamar Mady went to Youngstown State, Brett Soft signed with University of Central Arkansas, Ryan Schraeder went to Valdosta State University, and Craig Rosenstangle and Craig Gilmore signed with Emporia State.
