Thomas Johnson (Frederick, MD) linebacker/running back Nick Forbes , one of the top junior prospects in the state of Maryland’s 2010 class, would like to be able to make a college commitment prior to the beginning of his senior season. Football will be a factor in this important decision, but Forbes, who carries a 3.6 GPA, will be looking first and foremost on the academic front.

I want to go somewhere where I would want to be if I got hurt and couldn’t play football.”
