CHRISTIAN OLMSTEAD - University of Findlay - Offensive Line - Senior

LOGAN SCHNEIDER - Tiffin University - Offensive Line - Senior

Logan was also a Gene Upshaw nominee for top lineman in D2 and Marathon Scholar Athlete for October.

Congratulations to these young men!

Christian Olmstead is a Simon Kenton graduate. I don't know Logan Schneider.

The Findlay Oilers put up some big numbers offensively over the last several years and this season led the GMAC in rushing yards and in points scored. Thank you very much, O-line and Christian Olmstead was a big part of that success.

Logan is a 2014 Campbell Co Grad. He was a multi year starter for Tiffin, who was ranked in the D2 Top 25 or most of the year.

Former Cooper and current Indiana State WR Dante’ Hendrix was voted Honorable Mention All-Conference and to the All-Newcomer team for the Missouri Valley Football Conference. As a freshman he lead the Sycamores in receiving as well as finished 8th in the conference and helped the team to a 7-4 record which included a season ending 5 game winning streak to just miss the FCS playoffs.

Former Highlands and current Lindsey Wilson College kicker Jared Dougherty capped off another good season by capturing 3 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors (6 for his career) and 2nd consecutive First Team All-Conference selection. He is currently the all time leader in career PAT's with one season to go. He will become the schools all time leading scorer with 9 points scored next year. 18 of 25 in his career on field goals with a long of 48 last year and 47 this year.

The Detroit Lions have been in to give him a look and the hope is another good season and he can get the opportunity to play somewhere at the next level.
