Eric Wickham, a 6-foot-2, 239-pound inside linebacker from Savannah, Ga., is headed Dartmouth way. Here's a story and video about him from a year ago when he was All-Greater Savannah Defensive Player of the Year.

From Savannah Now:

Savannah Christian's Eric Wickham is set to sign to play at Dartmouth. Wickham, who was the Savannah Morning News's defensive player of the year as a junior, had another great season for the Raiders. The standout linebacker racked up 127 tackles and six sacks on the season as the Raiders reached the Class A state final for the second consecutive year.
