DEL.ICIO.USBoston College puts emphasis on grades with Lithia Springs DL
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Just because Lithia Springs defensive tackle Bryan Davis committed last week to Boston College doesn’t mean his phone has quieted down.
Sure, other colleges have quit calling, but he estimates he’s had at least a half dozen conversations with Eagles coaches calling to check on him and encourage him as National Signing Day nears on Feb. 4.
“(Defensive line coach Jeff Comissiong) has been helping me out, telling me to stay out of trouble and get good grades. He’s been really supportive,” Davis said.
Davis said Boston College coaches have urged him to get good grades and stay academically focused at a potentially distracting time. “They’re putting emphasis on my grades, and that’s been an emphasis of mine this year, too,” the 6-foot-3, 280-pound player said.
Davis, who had 75 tackles in his senior season at Lithia Springs (2-8), got three As and one B, in French II, on his first-semester report card. He wants straight As down the stretch of his senior year.
“My grades are solid, but I still want to get them better,” Davis said.
Davis generated late interest from Georgia Tech but was not offered.

You have to love that some college programs still stress the importance of the student athlete.
