DEL.ICIO.USWestlake’s Nolans turns attention to college
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Westlake defensive end/linebacker Dearco Nolan can put more focus on where he’s headed to play football in college now that his high school career is over. But he’s still hurting.
The Lions finished the season with a 6-4 record and fell short of reaching the state playoffs, and he admits the weekend that included turning in his gear was difficult.
“I was one of the leaders of the team, so I have to take some of the blame,” he said Sunday. “I dealt with that all weekend. It’s all over for me.
“I gave away a lot of my football accessories. … A lot of it I passed down to younger players. It’s sort of a tradition here to do that. That was pretty cool, but I wasn’t planning to give it up until later.”
Nolan, a 6-foot-3, 235-pounder, finished with 11 sacks and six forced fumbles.
“I look at it all as you’ve got to keep going forward. I’ve got to stay hungry and look toward college,” he said. “That’s where all of my focus is going to turn now.”
Nolan has been offered by North Carolina State, Mississippi, North Carolina, Iowa State, West Virginia, Miami-Ohio and Middle Tennessee.
He has not planned official visits.

Why does the Atlanta Urinal & Constipation keep making the news? Why is this even a story? If it isn’t about UGA, or a UGA recruit, then it is not news!
Wasn’t this past weekend a perfect one? The weather, the sports trifecta: UGA & Foulcoons victories, and GayTech loses!
Amen & God Bless!
