Football notebook: Lake Taylor's Privott visits Penn State | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

Lake Taylor linebacker Mike Privott had a busy weekend.

On Friday, he had 16 tackles to help the Titans improve to 9-0 with a victory against Granby. Lake Taylor is trying to become the first Eastern District team to finish the regular season 10-0 since the Titans did it in 1992.

The next day, Privott took an early flight to Pennsylvania for the Ohio State-Penn State game. It was his first unofficial visit of what will be many.

"It was a crazy atmosphere up there and I had seats at the 50-yard line," said Privott, a second-team All-Tidewater selection last season. "I got a chance to talk to some of the coaches and got to see pre-game workouts. It was great.

"The fans were also great. They kept coming up to me saying, 'You've got to come to our school.'"

Privott said Penn State coaches told him he should receive an offer in the mail by January. He also has recruiting trips set for Wake Forest and Alabama next month.

Other schools showing interest in Privott include North Carolina and Virginia Tech.
