Chaparral offensive lineman Brendon Austin, the consensus top in-state recruit this season, has officially been admitted to Stanford University.
Austin’s father, Doug, said Brendon got a call from Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh  on Monday morning with the news.
“Our whole family is absolutely thrilled,” he wrote in an email. “With this news, we can definitely close his recruitment.”
Austin is a four-star prospect according to the recruiting service Rivals.com, and is ranked 25th nationally at offensive tackle. He committed to Stanford  in May.
