Greatest High School Football player you have ever seen play (In Person)

His brother D'Juan was also very good.

Recall watching those guys' highlights on Friday night news. Best named brother tandem ever, and Hiwatha Francisco is my all-time favorite HS FB name.

Bo Jackson. What a freak of nature. Never left the field. He ran the ball, punted, kicked off, kicked extra points and played linebacker.

 

Didn't see him in high school, but I have no doubt you are probably correct.

Never say Shaun Alexander so I have to go with Michael Bush. Watching Jared Lorenzen and Derek Smith together in HS was special too...

Jared Lorenzen was ridiculously good in high school. Just crazy good.

 

Honorable Mention (in no order):

Melvin Miles

 

Agree on Jared. As for Melvin, I delivered a pizza to him in the spring after his senior season. I recognized him, which seemed to truly shock him, but we stood on the porch and talked football while the woman in the house kept yelling for him to bring in the pizza.

Im going to vote for myself

 

 

KYFrank?

[NEERFAN]

He played at Norwood High School in the late 70's. Then played at Miami University (Oxford) where he was a two-time All-American defensive tackle/nose guard. From 84-86 played for the Bengals, Bills and Calgary (CFL). After that hung up his cleats for wrestling shoes in the WCW and was best know as Flyn' Brian for signature leaps off the top rope of the ring. He passed away while in the WCW from an undetected heart condition that his father had passed away from years before.

 

I remember Pillman, Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart working out at Supreme Fitness. When they left it looked like an F5 touched down. They are all gone.

Both very good players I believe D'Juan broke his brothers rushing records at Moeller.

Keith Byars, Dayton Roth HS.

I played softball against Hiawatha in the Metro about 10 years ago, he was catching for one of the better squads in the city, and he weighted AT LEAST 325 at the time. My man had completely let himself go. Still had the same big smile and huge personality...really good and funny dude.

I would bet that Alexander should be at the top of this list...however, I never saw him play. A name not mentioned yet is Darrell Cross, RB from Rowan County in 2009. He made our defense look like swiss cheese.

[TheFauxTiger]

Randy Moss. And it's not even close. Had heard so much about him made the couple hour drive to watch them play. Was completely unfair.

 

Andy Katzenmoyer was a distant second. Another man vs boys scene

Cross was dominant in this area
