Harlingen soccer star Gael Zuniga is also signing to compete at the next level, taking his talents to Hardin-Simmons University on Friday afternoon.

The 4-year varsity letterman is a three-time first team All-District center midfielder and was named the Newcomer of the Year as a freshman.

"I came a long way. There were times I wanted to quit but the people around me kept me together and helped me fulfil this dream," Zuniga said. "They're a great program three back-to-back conference champions and I want to be part of a winning program so that's what made me choose Hardin-Simmons."
