Don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but I'm thinking that as far as the OVAC goes, it's probably a tie between Bellaire and Weirton.

Westerville South:

Ki-Jana Carter
Andy Katzenmoyer
Lance Moore

Not sure if there are others but those are the big 3. Lance's brother Nick has had a few chances but nothing panned out. He is now in the CFL.

Steubenville Big Red has produced 15 pro football players 11in NFL 1 Calvin Jones went to the CFL back in the 50's ..He was an Outland trophy winner..My guess is the racial prblems back then but then we had a few more really great ones but race was an issue or we would probably have 20 something 3 more guys in the Arena league ..Chuck Hython should have been in the NFL and be going to the hall of fame ..thats how good he was ..I knew a few more but we still have a pretty nice #

Try Canton McKinley.... they would blow almost any team away with NFL entries. Even Cleveland St. Ignatius would too.

Twinsburg:

Anthony White, RB from Kentucky during the Tim Couch era. Got picked up and was with the Packers for a little while before spending most his career in NFL Europe.
Kelly Herndon, DB from Toledo. Started in the XFL and then played primarily with the Broncos and Seahawks. Had a nice INT in the Steelers Super Bowl win under Cowher
Zoltan Mesko P from Michigan. In his rookie season with New England. He was a year younger than me and I knew him pretty well. Saw him this summer, same goofy kid as always.
