"Who is the best college football player born in your state?"
- Thread starter SaquonCappelletti
- Start date
Namath, Montana, Cappy? I’m not familiar with the college careers of the first two, but all were great players. I’d put Franco in the mix if we were just looking at pro careers.
If I am calling WV my state, off the top of my head, I'd say its a toss up between Randy Moss and Sam Huff.
When your from the Commonwealth of PA its almost impossible. But the myth the legend of Unitas makes me think him.
PA is to hard IMO.. Dorsett was amazing at Pitt, Marino was good, Barkley was awesome, Ham was incredible. Cappy was a legend. Any of those guys. Lavar was good, but not like those guys.
Way too many from where I was born and grew up, Ohio. Many all pros and All Americans.
My current state, Florida, same problem.

But didn’t Arron Donald win the most awards? I get he is from Pitt and played on mediocre teams.
Marino walked into an established program. I got Donald won more awards then all of them on a crappy Pitt team.
From NJ - There are many who played at PSU but I'm going with Ritchie Incognito who played at Nebraska.
Red Grange, the "Galloping Ghost" was born in PA. Moved to Illinois and played for the Illini. He's usually listed near the top of the "Best Ever All Time" lists.
Given that I've spent most of my adult life in Vermont, I choose to pass on this post
Pretty sure there was a kid from VT who played at PSU - a defensive lineman. Forget his name though. I am thinking....maybe right after the "down years".Given that I've spent most of my adult life in Vermont, I choose to pass on this post
No.
The kid may have played before the down years. He only started one year (his last) No NFL opportunities as I recall. Definitely a defensive lineman.
My opinion Lenny Moore.
Red Grange technically born in Pa.

The greatest NFL player born in Vermont is Steve Wisniewski. The 13-year veteran played in 206 career games, more than twice as many as anyone other else from the Green Mountain State. Not only did Wisniewski play in 206 career games, he started every single one of them.
I don't think Kelley was in the WPIAL. He was born in Pittsburgh but played HS ball in East Brady which I think is up north of Clarion.
