Harlingen South’s Adrian Torres commits to Texas Lutheran

HARLINGEN — Adrian Torres capped off a trio of signings this week at Harlingen South by inking a letter of intent to play football at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin this fall.

“I’m excited to continue my playing career at TLU,” said Torres. “TLU has a great program and great academics, and the campus has great scenery. It really felt like home.”

Torres plans to major in marketing and minor in psychology at TLU.

Torres was a three-year varsity member at South and played an important role for the Hawks’ offense, and in the return game.

This past season Torres racked up a team-high 1,037 all-purpose yards while finding the end zone four times. He rushed for 630 yards, had 306 return yards and 100 receiving yards.

Texas Lutheran is a Division III private school out of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are coming off a 2-8 season.

“I plan on playing receiver, but I’m open to playing wherever the team needs me,” Torres said. “I think having to start all over as a freshman will be tough and it’s going to be a challenge getting used to a new environment, but I know I’m ready and excited to be a Bulldog.”
