Canisius HS has the best player in New York state

[ProcessTruster]

phil mcconkey came out of Canisius as well.  I remember missing a tackle on him that went for six as I recall.....

 

long time ago

Many years ago ohio state recruited doug worthington out of st francis. The story was that our HC at the time, Jim Tressel, was college roommates with ilios dipaolos son. He would come to buffalo sometimes and ended up at a couple st francis games. There was also a kicker from canisius that came to osu a few years ago. I cant remember his name but he was the #1 HS kicker in the country at the time. Paul woods out of canisius was highly recruited but I believe ended up at Rutgers

Former saints and patriots end Will Smith went to my high school in Utica.  Won a Super Bowl with the saints, was an all American at Ohio state and is in the saints ring of honor and hall of fame.  
 

 

RIP. His son is at ohio state now.

Considering  New York state is barely borderline a top 25-30 HS football state

 

And buffalo hasn't had a four-star prospect in years this is not a small feat

 

Even our top players like gronkowski went to Pennsylvania to finish their career 

 

We don't have a lot of 4* guys in Buffalo who stay their entire high School career

I feel like that’s the story more and more with kids in states that don’t have spring football. The south and west coast just dominate recruiting. Even the freshman RB Bo Jackson that we have now at OSU; he’s from Cleveland and that was actually surprising. Most of our skill players are from Texas, Florida, Cali

Yes! Wow that name was in an archive somewhere in my brain. He was pretty good. But I think he got injured
