HIGHLANDS’ FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO SIGN LETTERS OF INTENT

What: Six Highlands’ football players will sign letters of intent on Tuesday, May 15, at 3pm in the Highlands High School Media Center. All six players had a three-year varsity record of 44 and 1, winning three state championships and finishing this year with a 15-0 record.

 

§ Ian McGurn will sign with Ohio University.

Ian dominated as a senior tight end and was one of the best blockers in the state. He also caught numerous passes and turned them into big gains in crucial situations.

 

§ Jason Waldenmeyer will sign with the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

Jason was a complete offensive tackle whom the team ran behind on the goal lines and the middle of the field. He was also an outstanding pass blocker.

 

§ Jake True will sign with Wittenberg.

Jake was an outstanding running back for four years and led the running backs in rushing as a senior. He also excelled as a blocker, receiver out of the backfield and as a punter.

 

§ Josh Quillen will sign with Wittenberg.

Josh was a dominating linebacker and a big varsity contributor for three years. He is fast and athletic and was consistently one of the team’s leading tacklers.

 

§ Devin Bruns will sign with the University Of Cincinnati.

When teams played Highlands this year, they had to first decide how they were going to try to block Devin. Few teams found any success, and he was named First Team All-State.

 

§ Austin Sheehan will sign with the University Of Kentucky.

Austin caught over 1000 yards of passes and averaged an amazing 34.9 yards per catch. A First Team All-State receiver, Austin had a tremendous season and career.

Congrats to these young men.

 

Is Ian a walk-on at Ohio U?

Congrats to all the young men. All their hard work and sacrifice has paid off. I'm sure their parents/family are very proud.

Congrats to these young men.

 

Is Ian a walk-on at Ohio U?

 

Yes. As is Sheehan at Kentucky and Bruns at Cincinnati. Good to see so many players continuing their careers at the collegiate level.

Agreed.

Congrats to all these players! When you say that McGurn will be a walk-on at Ohio, does that mean he is a "preferred walk-on?"

Congrats to all 6! Go Birds!

Congrats to all six players. Sounds like they better have a lot of cake.

So that means a total of at least 8 will be playing at the next level? Are there more?

Actually that is 9. Drake Bruns, Towles and A-Rob

Congrats to all...stay healthy...cherish the opportunity...graduate!

Always intrigued to see where student-athletes are going to move on to. Big ups to the kid getting the Rose-Hulman education, especially if there's an aid package that is going to knock anything off the cost.

I was at Awards night and Luke Dressman earned an appointment to West Point and I believe he will also don the pads. Can anyone confirm this?

Not sure he will play.

Still a Great honor. Thanks SB
