Pacific Northwest Running Back Set For Dartmouth

From the Bellingham (Wash) Herald:
RICK DECIDES ON DARTMOUTH
Bellingham High School football standout Jeremy Rick has verbally committed to play at Dartmouth College next season, Bellingham coach Doug Trainor wrote in an e-mail.
Rick rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, including 1,150 last season and 12 touchdowns. Rick made his decision to play for the Ivy League school after a recent visit to the campus.
The 5-foot-10 Rick was an All-Northwest Conference choice and honorable-mention all-state Class 2A. Find his photo on the school's roster page here and his career stats here. Here's what his coach had this to say about him in the All-Whatcom County story in the Bellingham Herald:
"Jeremy is just an electric player. He battled injuries all season and still really carried the load for us down the stretch. He's the type of high school football player who can carry the ball 25 or 30 times a game and still break a big play."
The story says he ran for at least 100 yards in eight of 10 games.

He's also a sprinter on the track team (results).
