Northwestern High's Nathan Arroyo, who led S.C. high school soccer players in scoring and was the state's player of the year in 2005, has signed scholarship papers from Francis Marion University.

Arroyo scored 45 goals and had 121 points last season as a junior. He cannot play this year because he repeated the ninth grade; last season was his fourth and final season of high school eligibility.

Francis Marion competes in NCAA Division II. The school is in Florence.
