The Daily American recently released its list of Players to Watch for the upcoming football season, and several talented Windber Ramblers made the cut—each bringing leadership, versatility, and impact on both sides of the ball.
Nokosi Fowler-Whetstone
[Senior WR/FS]
A key returning senior wide receiver and free safety, this Rambler quietly made his presence known last season with 30 tackles from the defensive backfield. Known for his athleticism and awareness, he's expected to be a consistent playmaker in both the passing game and secondary this fall.
Dylan Woodruff
[Junior WR/FS]
After a breakout sophomore season, this junior wide receiver and free safety is ready to elevate his game to the next level. He filled the stat sheet last year with 46 tackles, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries, showcasing a knack for being around the ball and making momentum-changing plays.
Mason Horner
[Junior Tackle/Guard]
A physical force in the trenches, this junior lineman played a crucial role on both sides of the line. His combination of size and motor helped him rack up 39 tackles, six sacks, and a fumble recovery. His development will be vital for Windber's offensive and defensive fronts this season.
Lucas Rummel
[Senior RB/TE/LB]
Arguably the heart of the defense, this senior leader returns after recording a team-high 95 tackles, along with two sacks and an interception. Whether lining up at running back, tight end, or linebacker, he's a dependable, hard-nosed competitor who sets the tone for the team.
Cole Mash
[Senior RB/S]
This senior running back and safety is another versatile threat. He rushed for 374 yards and 4 touchdowns, added 10 receptions for 162 yards and another score, and contributed 32 tackles on defense. Expect him to play a vital role in both the Rambler offense and defensive secondary.
With a strong mix of experienced seniors and rising underclassmen, Windber's roster features multiple players poised to have major impacts this season. As the team gears up for a competitive fall, these five Ramblers will be key to their success on Friday nights.
