DEL.ICIO.USAlabama’s total package lured Norcross’ Bolton
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

It was more than Nick Saban that attracted DeVonta Bolton to Alabama.
“The coaching staff, the school, the support of the fans” all pointed the Norcross High wide receiver to Tuscaloosa. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder picked Alabama over Boston College, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Michigan and Ohio State.
Bolton is a member of an Alabama signing class that Scout.com rates No. 1 in the nation.
“All that means is we need to try to be humble,” Bolton said.
Bolton teamed with Brice Butler (USC) at Norcross to make one of the best wide-out tandems in the state. He says he’s going to miss high school but is ready for the next step.
“They’re always going to be with me in my mind and my heart,” he said.

@Hairy Balls, you clearly don’t know a thing about recruiting. Why don’t you do some research so when you ask questions, you don’t come off like a jackass.
