November, 2011 when Carl Nassib was a senior, came off the bench for the Malvern Friars.
Las Vegas Raiders’ defensivie lineman, Carl Nassib, from his home in West Chester, PA, “came out” with an announcement posted on Instagram.
Nassib said, “I just want to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but I finally feel comfortable enough to get it off my chest.”
Malvern Prep Spokesperson –
Today more than ever, we support Carl and stand with him.
Carl Nassib went to Malvern Prep, an independent Catholic school outside Philly.

I contacted the school after Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay.
Got this response from a spokesperson:

Even though Nassib was relegated to coming off the bench for Malvern’s football team, the future NCAA sacks leader did manage to win a job as the starting center on the baskeball team.
