Dorian Bell is glad he has been able to focus on football and family this summer -- not the mailman.

Since the senior all-state linebacker at Gateway made a verbal commitment to Ohio State in April, the waves of recruiting letters that had been crashing in his mailbox have started to recede, and Bell has enjoyed his offseason without the pressure of facing a life-altering choice.

"Once he made his (college) decision, you could see the freedom and relaxation in his spirit," Gateway coach Terry Smith said. "I can just tell the difference between him and some of our kids in the past who have waited to make their decisions."
