Abbotsford (OnFocus) – A preseason watch list for the state’s top senior linebacker includes multiple players from central Wisconsin:
- Ben Raczek, SPASH
- Tristan Stange, Colby
- Brent Jeske, Colby
- Jacob Nesterick, Stanley-Boyd
- Max Bucholz, DC Everest
The John Anderson Award is presented annually to the state’s top senior linebacker as part of the WSN Senior Football Awards. The award is named after John Anderson, a former Waukesha South standout who went on to star at the University of Michigan and later with the Green Bay Packers.
The pre-season list will be trimmed down to about 25 semi-finalists halfway through the year, with five finalists chosen at the start of the playoffs. Winners are announced the week of the state finals.
