A Cottrell Mention

The Atlantic City Press leads off its college notes with a short piece on Dartmouth linebacker Justin Cottrell earning FCS All-America honorable mention after leading the Ivy League in tackles. Cottrell tells the Press:

As far as recognition, because it is the Ivy League and all the stereotypes that go with it, I think that the level of competition often doesn't get the attention it deserves. However, I think that is slowly changing for the better because of the increasing number of guys who have gone onto find success at the next level.

Regarding that next level, Cottrell has his eyes on continuing to play next year. I've touched base with him trying to set up a time we can talk about his football plans and after I do I'll have a story up on the Green Alert site. (Photo courtesy of Dartmouth)

And now I better put the blog aside and get back to work on some stuff that pays ;-)
