Bear Old, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound junior offensive lineman at Rabun County, is the scoutSMART Student-Athlete of the Week. Old has a 3.7 GPA and was a preseason all-state selection. He is also a member of Rabun County High School Leadership and a Blitz Sports basketball player of the year nominee. Old currently holds a scholarship offer from Gardner-Webb. “Bear plays a major role within our football team, and it is not just on the football field,” Rabun County head coach Jaybo Shaw said. “He is on my leadership council and an integral part of not only this football team but our high school as well. He has had a great offseason and has taken care of his business at a high level. I look forward to watching Bear continue to grow on and off the field the next two years.”
