Nicholas back for charity autograph signing

Former USF linebacker Stephen Nicholas, fresh from signing his rookie contract with the Atlanta Falcons, will return to Tampa next month to sign autographs July 14 at Bucs and Bulls Heaven on Fletcher Avenue.

The cost is $10 per autograph with a minimum store purchase of $10, with proceeds from his appearance going to his father's church, Victory Tabernacle, in Jacksonville.

"I grew up going to that church," Nicholas told the Times' Brian Landman on Tuesday. "It does a lot for the community. I want to give back and make a difference in someone's life because it made a difference in my life."
