Bishop McDevitt standout Noah Spence caps prolific prep career with national player of the year award

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- At the head table, stage right, Noah Spence and old nemesis Brendan Nosovitch had just enough room to relax.
To their immediate left was a full compliment of football legends past and present, so complaining about cramped elbows would have been tacky.
?It was all right,? joked Spence, Bishop McDevitt?s Parade All-American defensive end and Ohio State recruit.
At Harrah?s Resort Friday, Spence was just hours away from accepting the Maxwell?s Football Club?s national high school player of the year award.
?It?s still in my high school days, but I?m ready to do some more stuff,? Spence said. ?It?s still a blessing every time you win an award, but I?m ready to move on a little bit.?
Name an award in the lower 48 and chances are Spence has either won it or been in serious contention. The 6-4, 245-pound rush end racked up 108 tackles, 12? sacks and 27 tackles for loss last season during the Crusaders? run to their second consecutive PIAA Class AAA final.
Those gaudy numbers pushed Spence onto a half-dozen All-America teams and made him Pennsylvania?s Gatorade Player of the Year. Nosovitch, Allentown Central Catholic?s dynamic quarterback, won the 2010 version.
But one superb week in Florida in early January likely brought Spence to this particular press conference, where he rubbed elbows with Stanford?s Andrew Luck, LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu and even former NFL quarterback Archie Manning.
?Seeing those guys, it?s like I want to get to where they are now, college wise and even the pros,? said Spence, who turned in a dominating three-sack performance during the Under Armour All-American game in St. Petersburg.
?They?re blessed and that?s the first thing I think of. It?s crazy because you can?t get much bigger than this in high school.?
