Canyon Springs High School senior running back Donnel Pumphrey made an oral commitment Tuesday to San Diego State, choosing the Aztecs over scholarship offers from UNLV, Duke, New Mexico and New Mexico State.
Pumphrey, originally from San Diego, earned second-team all-state honors last season. He rushed for 1,647 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2011 to help Canyon Springs (7-3) win the Northeast League title.
