I'm hoping by the time he's a regular contributor we're talking about him as the next Logan McCormick or Spencer Waege. :)

Reed Ryan, Waunakee - Ryan was a unanimous First Team All-Conference choice in the Badger-North last year, but his play in the Division 2 state championship game burst him onto the statewide scene. In a comeback win over Brookfield Central, he had 7 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks, plus arguably the biggest play of the game when he forced a fumble deep in Lancer territory that changed the tide of the game. He finished his junior year with 69 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks, and while full stats are not available for his senior campaign yet, they should rival the kind of disruption he caused a year ago. Also an outstanding wrestler, Ryan has accepted a football scholarship from North Dakota State.

Reed Ryan, a senior defensive end from Waunakee, was named the Large School Defensive Player of the Year. After 69 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks as a (junior) , Ryan was even better as a senior. In leading the Warriors to an unbeaten regular season and trip to the state semi-finals, Ryan recorded 80 tackles, 37 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, two blocked kicks, and a fumble return touchdown in 2018. Like Hendricks, Ryan is committed to D1-FCS powerhouse North Dakota State.
I really hope we can hold on to Ryan and Hendricks. It's going to be hard I have a feeling.
come on DEC
That would be pretty amazing to have both WI players of the year, for large schools to boot. That said, we have proven that we are a school where a player can have a definite path to the NFL, and with a real developmental learning environment, and great team culture.
