Fort Worth Nolan Catholic 2022 LB/DE Vincent Paige (6-2, 225) and the Vikings are off to a great start with a 4-0 record. 
 
"We are doing really good right now as a team. Just won against our biggest rival and have a lot of momentum," Paige said. "We want to work our way into the playoffs and hopefully get a chance at state."

 There's no doubt that Paige has been doing his part to help the team to its current success. Paige has put up big numbers since landing a spot on a varsity roster. 

This, of course, has led college coaches from across the country to extend the opportunity to join their rosters. 

Paige has nine offers: Baylor, Connecticut, Houston, Cincinnati, Louisiana Tech, Syracuse, Buffalo, Kansas and North Texas. Boise State, SMU, Indiana, Texas A&M and Notre Dame are all showing strong interest. 

Paige has identified a few programs that are standing out for him at the moment.
 
"I would definitely say that UConn, Baylor, Cincinnati and Houston are the programs standing out and showing me a lot of love. I've actually had a virtual visit with Cincinnati," Paige said. "It was a great visit that opened my eyes to the opportunities there, on and off the field. It has a great architect design program, so that is a good fit for me."
 
For the moment, Paige does not have any other visits set, but that could change at any time. He is a defender college coaches see as a bonafide edge rusher. They like his physicality, aggressiveness off the edge, and passion for the game.
 
"I'm being recruited as an outside linebacker. It's always fun for me to get after the quarterback," Paige said. "I can cover too, but I like coming off the edge. Whatever the coaches need me to do, I plan to use all of my abilities."
