A prep football standout and grandson of a Chargers Hall of Famer floored his mother when he announced his intended college Wednesday.
Frank Buncom IV, a senior at St. Augustine High School, shocked his mother when he announced which college he’ll attend in the fall.
In fact, his mother fell out of her seat when Buncom announced it on ESPNU.
“My father was more the introverted type, so he never told me where to go,” Buncom explained. “But my mother never made me doubt for a second that she wanted me to attend Stanford University. So I know if I could surprise her with that, it would be one of the best moments of her life.”
Buncom said he loved the school's combination of athletics and academics and has plans to attend medical school.
The name may sound familiar to area football fans.
Frank's grandfather, of the same name, went to USC and later earned a place in the Chargers Hall of Fame.
