It didn't take long for Bayside (Virginia Beach, VA) head coach Darnell Moore to realize that cornerback Demetrious Nicholson would be a player.
"When I looked at him as a freshman [in 2007], he was working out during the summer before his freshman year, I saw he was real quick and had good feet," Moore said. "I knew he wasn't a player I would let play JV. He has good reaction. He has good hips for a defensive back. He has got all of these things. Hard work has paid off for him. His work ethic is extremely good. Those things have paid off for him."
