Nicely commits to BG
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 From staff reports
A campus where he felt comfortable and a chance to compete for a starting job in 2010 were enough for Willoughby South quarterback Patrick Nicely to give Bowling Green an oral commitment Sunday.
Nicely (6-4, 215) said he will redshirt his freshman year.
"That will put me in a spot to compete for being the starter for four years," he said. "They have a very good quarterback tradition and I can go in and compete for a starting job."
Nicely, who lives in Eastlake, said he felt at home on the campus. He also considered offers from Ohio University and Akron. He is undecided about a major, but is considering a career in orthodontics.
Nicely passed for 1,700 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on a 3-7 team last season.
