Rio Grande City's DeAndre Rodriguez signed his letter of intent to play baseball at Ranger College on Tuesday afternoon.

"Ranger [College] just felt like home to me," Rodriguez said. "Some place that I could get better, develop and hopefully one day go onto the Division I level."

The signing comes after the Rattler star took home District MVP as a senior.

He was also a first team All-District catcher as a junior and Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore.

"Feels amazing. Going onto the next level is something that I've always dreamed of as a little kid," Rodriguez added. "Doing it in front of my hometown is something I've always wanted to do since I was little."
