Darien Chase, an All-Region football standout for the Mountain View football team, announced Wednesday that he is in the process of transferring to Union High School.

“My family has recently relocated and I am now in the transition of transferring to Union High School,” Chase posted on social media Wednesday evening. “I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me up to this point, especially the coaching staff and I wish the Mountain View football program the best of luck next year. But next year, I will play my junior season at Union High School.”

Chase caught 44 passes for 796 yards and 10 touchdowns as sophomore last season for Mountain View. He was a first-team all-3A Greater St. Helens League selection at receiver and defensive back last fall for the Thunder.

Chase was also a second-team all-league pick in basketball for the Thunder.

Union is coming off a 4-5 campaign last season in its first year under head coach Rory Rosenbach.

Mountain View went 7-4, was unbeaten in the 3A Greater St. Helens League and reached the final 16 in the state playoffs.
