Buena Park quarterback JJ Christy committed to Division III Mount Union of Ohio last week, Coyotes coach Anthony White said.

Christy earned a presidential scholarship, which the university typically awards to only 1-3 students per year, for his off-the-field excellence. He passed for 1,804 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2011 while leading the Coyotes to an 8-3 record and the first round of the playoffs.

“JJ is exactly what the new Buena Park football program is about,” White said. “He’s a great leader and does everything right in the classroom.”

Indianapolis Colts receiver Pierre Garcon is a alumnus of Mount Union, which has won a D-III record 10 national titles and holds the all-divisions record with a 55-game winning streak.
