How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play?

I have played since I was in elementary school, starting with flag football. I’ve played tackle since 5th grade. I continue to play because I love the game and because it allows me to be me.

What or who got you started playing football?

My dad and brother were the major reasons. I also loved watching players like Jeff Okudah, Marshon Lattimore, Darron Lee, Chase Young, and Raekwon McMillan. I wanted to be like those guys. 

MLB/HB/WR Of the three positions, which one do you believe you are the best at?

LB

MLB/HB/WR Of the three, which one was the toughest to prepare for?

LB

With this being your final high school season, have you found yourself preparing any differently?

Yes, I’m realizing it’s my last year of high school, so I find myself embracing every moment, even the ones that suck. I also train harder, lift with more intensity, and do more specific programs. 

What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Edon High School?

I know every little fact about my teammates. I’ve watched them grow from little kids into grown men. I love playing with them and for them.

Who is the best player that you have ever faced in a game, along with the team he played on?

I have played against many great players. Thomas Foust, Cardinal Stritch. Quincey Crabbs, St. Paul. Logan Eilerman, Fort Loramie. Jack Vicente, Ottawa Hills. 

Coming off a 7-5 season, including a road playoff win over a very good Waynesfield-Goshen, what does the 2024 team have to do better to have a better season?

We have to be more focused. Last year, we were mostly juniors and sophomores. We were young and not fully locked in. This year, as we mature, we must focus and put in more work. We have to be tougher. We have the talent to win; we need everybody to buy in.

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season?

1st team all-state, TAAC DPOY, 1st team TAAC WR, break my school's tackle record for a career and a season. Win TAAC, win state.

What is the strongest part of your game?

Toughness, tenacity, and I’m mean on the field. 

Could you name some of the schools that you are hearing from?

Lake Erie, Ashland, Tiffin, and Thomas More

If you are invited to play in any of the all-star games after the season, will you?

Possibly the north vs. south game. 

What is your favorite type of music?

Rap and metal

Who is your favorite athlete?

Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jon Jones

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

  Braylon Sturgill Ironton High School LB/FB 2025 What were your goals entering the 2023 season, and were you able to achieve those goals? Our goal every year is simple: win a state championship. We fell short last season, but we are coming back stronger. My personal goals were to be a full-time starter and contribute to my team's success. I was able to start and contribute despite a few injuries that prevented me from being 100% throughout the season. What is it like to play for Coach Pendleton? It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio. He is the best coach I have ever played for. What is the hardest part of an Ironton practice? The hardest part about practice is
