Durant’s Fabrizio commits to Naval Academy

Durant quarterback Nick Fabrizio has accepted a scholarship offer to the U.S. Naval Academy to play football for the Midshipmen, Cougars coach Mike Gottman announced Monday.
The 5-10, 160-pound Fabrizio was a dual-threat on offense for Durant last season, passing for 733 yards and nine touchdowns and rushing for another 1,085 yards and a team-high 19 TDs.
Led by Fabrizio, the Cougars posted a 7-3 regular season record that earned them the Class 7A-District 8 title. In the opening round of the playoffs, Durant fell falling to Gaither 38-30.
The three major military academies—Army, Navy and Air Force—compete at the NCAA’s Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level, the highest level of college football. Although academic qualifying standards for admittance to these academies tend to be significantly higher than most college football programs, they are not limited to the typical scholarship limits and often carry more than 100 players receiving athletic aid.

First off, congratulation goes to Nick Fabrizio! He started one year and was able to land a D1 scholarship. For the record, as someone who knows Nick, he is an honest 5’11 1/2 and 175. Watching you write that he is 160 is a diservice to how hard he has worked. But spelling his name wrong is probably a bigger issue.
Either way, imagine what he could have done with two years starting…. Good luck Nick!

Official Durant roster reads 5-10, 160, so obviously he’s grown. Name is spelled correctly. Good luck at the Naval Academy. You have to be a special high school student-athlete for the service academies to even consider you.
