DEL.ICIO.USDunwoody DE Malcolm Mitchell focusing on season over recruiting

The biggest moment of Dunwoody defensive end Malcolm Mitchell’s young football career will come on national signing day in February when he is likely to sign with a major college program.
But the biggest moment of the 2008 season comes Friday when his Wildcats take on St. Pius in a battle of unbeatens for the Region 5-AAA championship. Both teams are state-ranked - Dunwoody is No. 4, Pius is No. 3 — and both are 9-0.
“It should be a great game,” said the 6-foot-2, 220-pound senior, who is the leading sacker among DeKalb County schools with a sack and a half per game. “It’s the biggest game of the season, biggest ever for me.”
Dunwoody’s standout play is the main reason Mitchell wasn’t able to watch South Carolina beat Tennessee in person last Saturday. He was invited to the game, but couldn’t attend. He says he’ll schedule a visit to Columbia as soon as he can.
South Carolina is one of three programs he considers in the lead. West Virginia and Louisville also have offered scholarships, along with Tulane, Central Florida, Marshall, Indiana and Alabama-Birmingham.
