Matt Degner of Muskego, a senior at Waukesha Catholic Memorial, signed a national letter of intent on Wednesday to play football at Augustana College in South Dakota.

Degner was first-team All-Classic 8 Conference at offensive guard for the Crusaders, who cruised to the WIAA Division 3 state title, beating Waupaca 42-7 in the final.

Augustana is an NCAA Division II school that has won 21 conference championships and was a powerhouse in the 1980s, winning four consecutive national championships.

Degner was one of three Crusaders players to sign football letters of intent Wednesday. Mitch Meindel is going to North Dakota and Matt Hubley is headed to UW-Madison.
