LAND O’ LAKES — Three Land O’ Lakes High School student-athletes signed their letters of intent to play collegiate athletics.
Frank Villar, a co-captain and midfielder on the soccer team, signed with Florida Atlantic University.
Villar helped the Gators finish the regular season with a 17-3-2 record and undefeated at home. Land O’ Lakes reached the playoffs, where it defeated Wesley Chapel High School 3-0 Feb. 4 in the Class 4A regional quarterfinals. The Gators then played Mitchell High School Feb. 9, but results were not available at press time.
Tyler Peak and Patrick Kronk, who each play football, are going to Jacksonville University and American International respectively.
Kronk is a 6-foot-5, 315-pound offensive guard. Peak, who plays running back and was a co-captain, gained 928 yards on 132 carries and eight rushing touchdowns in 2009. He also caught seven passes for 123 yards and one score.
The Gators football team reached the playoffs for a Pasco County record 13th straight time last year, but was eliminated by Jefferson High School in the first round.
