INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Paramus Catholic alumni Devin Willock can add national champion to his growing resume as a football prospect after Monday.

Willock, a redshirt freshman offensive lineman for the University of Georgia Bulldogs, is now a member of one of the college's most successful teams. The Bulldogs defeated Southeastern Conference rival Alabama on Monday by a score of 33-18, buoyed by a stellar defensive performance.

Willock, hailing from New Milford, served as a reserve offensive lineman for most of the year, but the ring fits all the same. He took to Twitter to savor the victory, as did his alma matter.
