Marietta tight end Arik Gilbert, a five-star recruit as the consensus No. 2 prospect in Georgia, announced his college choice Wednesday, surprising many when he chose LSU. Alabama was considered the leader, followed by Georgia. The previous week, Gilbert set a Marietta record for career receptions. He has 186 for his career, 44 for 838 yards on the season. Who held the record that Gilbert broke? (Answer Friday)

Answer to Wednesday's question: Joey Blount, the University of Virginia junior who was named ACC defensive back of the week, played his high school ball at Landmark Christian.
