Standout Knoxville quarterbacks Dawson Halliday (Bearden) and Jake Ryan (Knoxville West) made college commitments this week.

The Knoxville News Sentinel reported Friday that Ryan committed to Ohio Valley Conference member Austin Peay.

Halliday has committed to play for Yale in the Ivy League.

Ryan (6-1, 182) is the son of former Tennessee and New York Jets quarterback Pat Ryan.

He was named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association All-state team the past two seasons.

Ryan completed 60 percent of his passes for more than 2,400 yards and 21 touchdowns last season.

Halliday (6-2, 198) passed for more than 2,000 yards and 14 touchdowns as he lead the Bulldogs to a 12-2 record in 5A. He was named the TSWA All-state team in 2007.

The Sentinel also reported this week that Bearden defensive back Sean Cunningham committed to Tennessee State Wednesday.

Bulldogs linebacker Preston Rouse committed to Austin Peay.

National Signing Day is Feb. 6.
