by The Unsung Hero’s Award – Offensive Linemen everywhere!
Not a season goes by that I don’t get at least 8-10 emails asking why I don’t feature more offensive linemen. I’m sorry, but I send only one set of eyeballs to each game and I need them to focus on who is catching, throwing and running the ball. Also, who is tackling the ball carrier and rushing the passer.
However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t completely agree that O-Linemen are the most important facet, and least talked about position in any sport. They are also usually the funniest guys on the team with the best personalities as well.
Without the big boys on the O-Line, none of these awards would be possible. Without a good O-Line, you have absolutely nothing. They are the reason we have a running back of the year, quarterback of the year, etc..
Perhaps this meme below sums it up best.
Yep, it would be nice for these young men to get some individual validation. They do all of the things you mentioned on Page 1, too!
Nice job with the coverage and recognition of each individual team. I’m sure it not easy and KeeOnSports had an outstanding season just like all of the GLC players you mentioned. Being a bit of a homer, I will say that I enjoyed your coverage of North Olmsted the most. I would also like to mention the entire Offensive Line for the hard work they put in and the effort they gave in each game. LT: Joey Wengstrom has the size, strength and athletic ability to play at the next level. LG: Christian Riggen, I’ve watched him play since youth football, hard nosed young man, very tough. C: Brandon O’Boyle, two way player this season and perfect with every snap. Cowboy strong. RG: Kent Albert, another one that I’ve watched play sports since he was young. This guy is the pure definition of gym rat. Strong, obviously, since he is the lightest Lineman I’ve seen. RT: Jacob Holtz, just a sophomore starting every game. That says a ton considering the competition in the GLC. He is going to be fun to watch next year. Fantastic group of young men and 3 of them return next year.
How did frankie boscarello not make the list when he is first team and a couple guys on this list are 2nd and hm
