The Lions' Pride

Well if current level of success is a component in your argument, it's going to be tough to beat Ed Ruth.

Not sure how their speed is, and there "size" heightwise is small.

Ethan Kilmer was one of my favorite athletes to watch play football.

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuth!

Thanks for the help guys. The short list so far is looking like: Frazier, Hodges, David Taylor, Ed Ruth

Anyone familiar with the soccer team? Would anyone on that squad qualify?

Si Redd, Fortt, and Kenney are the other football guys at the top of my list. Kenney may be the best of the bunch.

Mark fetrow was a senior this year on the soccer team, but hes a tall, strong athletic center back.. i think he got drafted in the MLS supplemental draft.

The same could be said for most of the wrestling team.

He might not even be the winner on his own team. David Taylor was the Hodge Award winner for the best wrestler in country - only the third sophomore to ever win it (Ruth was second). Taylor also won the NCAA's most dominant wrestler award (I believe Ruth was third here - at least he was going into the NCAA, he might have moved up to second afterward). And he was named the Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA tournament and also won the Gorriaran Award winner for the most falls in the least amount of time at the NCAAs.

As good as Ruth is, I'd have a hard time naming him over Taylor.

I still sing the old words to the Alma Mater---"into men, into men." But in my opinion, your list is crying out for the inclusion of at least one girl from the women's volleyball team! Either Deja McClendon or Ariel Scott. And I'm glad to see David Taylor and Ed Ruth on your list....those guys are absolutely awesome.

Taylor is the best wrestler, but this does not indicate the best Athlete. I believe Ruth is more athletic. Collegewrestlers are the most well conditioned athletes. They need strength, power, quickness, flexibility, endurance.

I heard McGloin was quite the basketball player in HS....
