Engle, who was a ball boy for the Warriors as a child, returned to ECC for his freshman season and was named the 2003 Mission Conference Player of the Year. He was also named to the All-State Team and earned an All-American Honorable Mention.

 

Engle was named the Offensive Player of the Game in the 2003 Southern California Bowl after going 15-for-27 for 180 yards and leading ECC to a 21-14 win over Chaffey College. He helped lead the Warriors to an 8-3 record in 2003 and passed for 2,656 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was named the team’s Offensive Freshman Player of the Year in his lone season with the Warriors.
