Ironton - I think that in the past 15/16 years the best Tiger defenders are:

DB - Jason Harmon
DL - Michael Henry, Troy Sands
LB - Matt Kelly

Just my opinion...

Best Free Safety I ever witnessed was Jared Humphreys at Jackson. He could read and stop the option and play pass and was a fine QB to boot. Awesome football player in my opinion though and played baseball in college.

Trevon Pendelton was quite a LB at West!

Alf Bricker DB for West 2008. Never seen someone 6'3" tall that could cover anyone and come up and stop the run in the backfield. Great instincts for the game!

Ken might have made it but I heard he had to come home that week for his mothers funeral. Also heard he worked for the cowboys for a number of years.
