Remember that rumor we told you about Brett Nottingham last week? Well, according to this article from The Bootleg—Scout.com's Stanford athletics blog—it turns out that rumor is true. Though Athletics cannot comment on potential recruits until they are admitted and a deposit is in due to Ivy League rules, Nottingham's word is confirmation that he plans on taking his talents to the Big Apple.
"I am excited to say I am in the process of applying to Columbia University," Nottingham said to The Bootleg. "Pending admissions, I plan on playing football for head coach Pete Mangurian and the Columbia Lions."
Per the same article, Nottingham was scheduled to major in Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford. It is currently unclear to which Columbia school Nottingham is applying, but he'd be eligible to play in 2013 irrespective of where he'd land, as he's transferring from a FBS to an FCS football program. Nottingham has finished all essays and applications, and will get a job and train while he's waiting to hear back from CU. If admitted, he would join Columbia football in the summer.
