Two of Sickles top players have decided on their college destinations.

Wide receiver Chris Nahat committed Sacred Heart. Nahat led the Gryphons with 36 receptions for 762 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Sickles coach Pat O’Brien said Sacred Heart coaches indicated Nahat has the potential to come in and compete for a starting spot as a freshman.

Defensive lineman Ian Hopkins committed to Butler Community College. Hopkins finished second on the defense with 10 sacks and also had 53 tackles. Hopkins played a key role in a defense that helped limited Sickles’ opponents to an average of 16 points per game.
