► Add to the Discussion Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on May 4, 2014 Several years ago, Valley Forge high school had a 285 come out of nowhere to win some major event (Brecksville?). Then he sort of disappeared. Well, here he is. Jerry des Forges can probably provide details. http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2014/05/an_underdog_and_dancing_bear_m.html#incart_river_default        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Bob Preusse added to this discussion on May 4, 2014 Meder was a good wrestler which adds to his skillset. He lost 3-1 SV to a top hs hvwt at the time Garrett Goebell of Montini Illinois in the 2007 Ironman finals. Guys like this make NFL teams all the time, best of luck.        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Pat Costilow added to this discussion on May 4, 2014 Meder has pulled big time accolades his whole college career, so we have seen this coming. Best of luck to him.        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Jim Behrens added to this discussion on May 4, 2014 I had his finals match at Mentor his senior year and all I remember is that he was HUGE up close.        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Pat Costilow added to this discussion on May 5, 2014 I saw him a couple of times that year and yeah, he was huge and lean/mature for a high schooler. And he could move. It doesn't surprise me that he is getting NFL looks; he had the body and athleticism.        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Jerry Des Forges added to this discussion on May 6, 2014 Great young man. I coached James from 8th grade through summer of his junior year. I did not get the teaching position in the district and had to leave (hardest decision I have made in my coaching career)- which I feel to this day cost him a state title. I actually got to speak on his behalf today in front of the Valley Forge football team. He was happy Jeremy Johnson had such a good college career- makes the loss more bearable for him. I had the opportunity to watch him grow as an athlete and young man. He stayed at Ashland even though he probably could have transferred to a larger university to be near his long time girlfriend that battled cancer. He also stayed because this was the one school that took a chance with him despite his previous academic struggles. He is graduating this Saturday with a degree from Ashland. I think the effort and way he has carried himself the past 5 years says a lot about him, if an NFL career does not work out- he has his degree now and a solid group of people around him. The match vs. Goebel was a great match. He was a low seed coming into the tournament (was SQ as Sophomore with 16-9 record). During the rest of his junior year he dominated just about everyone until he got high ankle sprain in sectional finals. He placed sixth. His senior year lacked in quality work out partners and I think led to him gassing out in finals vs. Johnson.        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL John Ice added to this discussion on May 7, 2014 http://fox8.com/2014/05/06/student-gives-up-shot-at-nfl-to-nurse-girlfriend-with-cancer/        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Jerry Des Forges added to this discussion on May 10, 2014 Meder going to Baltimore        Discussion Topic: Meder Could Play In NFL Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on May 11, 2014 Quote from Jerry Des Forges's post: "Meder going to Baltimore" +1        ► Add to the Discussion
