Wow, that's jumping into the WAY back machine. One of only 3 4-year starters I think for Logan in school history along with classmate Robbie Johnson (who played linebacker for Woody).

As for guys from other schools, John Leonard from Jackson was an absolute animal from '04-'06.

We weren't in the SEOAL at the time, but I think Dustin Pendleton, who was the D3 Defensive player of the year in 2000 would have to be in the running. Also Bobby (Boucher) Waughtel, this guy must have had close to 150 tackles in 2002. Tyler Clifford was also a very good DE for the Trojans, and is now playing for the University of Cincinnati.

Names escape me right now but Ironton has had some good ones, I think Reggie Arden played DE for the Fighting Tigers early this decade.

I'll second the vote for Ironton's Reggie Arden.
Jackson had a kid in the mid-1990s that was a beast, but I can't remember his name.

Witness Protection,

There are two names that come to mind. Jay Wackler, who played for Jackson from 1992-1994, and Chris Daniels, who played in 1996 and 1997.

Wackler had great size (I'm guessing 6'3" 250lbs.), strength, speed, and a mean streak like you wouldn't believe. I was young when he played, but I remember him being dominant. Seemed like he was in the backfield every single time the ball was snapped.

Daniels was a smallish DT at about 6'2" 210lbs. but he was deceptively strong and had a motor that never stopped. Like Wackler, he was out there to destroy whatever was in front of him. Chris was one of the best kick coverage players ever at Jackson as well. I can't even begin to count how many tackles he made on kickoffs and how many kick returners he literally knocked out with some of the most vicious hits you'll ever see in high school football.



As Locos said, John Leonard was another great one at Jackson. Physically imposing with good speed and an aggressive attitude. Leonard was a three year starter at DE and improved each season. He was named the SEOAL South MVP in 2006, which is a very rare honor for a lineman.

The last two years, Ryan Hughes has been dominant at DE for Jackson. I didn't get to watch him as much as I have watched many of the others, but from what I saw, Ryan was much like John Leonard.

Rob Rose from Logan caused alot of problems for teams. VERY big, moved well and was very strong.

[D Owens]

Chris Krannitz - Jackson

[Tigercannon71]

Reggie was a linebacker not a Defensive lineman.

[bird78]

GRIZZLY Rob Rose he never even started for Logan

[91blue14]

JT HOWELL

[madpolecat]

What about Ben Doolittle from Gallia Academy?

JT Howell was a nice one, too.

[schenk11]

Kurt Brammer and Ryan Boley from Marietta

[chiefswrestler09]

08' line of the Chiefs

[black_and_orange]

Brammer was a man. I think he was first team all-Ohio in 2002.

[Ironman92]

Wackler was the best DL I've seen for Jackson, completely dominant.

[noreply66]

Smittie was a good one too--right along with Big Daddy

[loganlocos]

GRIZZLY Rob Rose he never even started for Logan

Yes he did.

He was first team All-District in 2004 as well as Special Mention All-Ohio. He also played at DT as a junior in 2003. He was definitely a great D-linemen from LHS.

I'll second Brammer from Marietta. GREAT defensive lineman.
