Ryan Kish

Darbut, who was named as the Ohio Athletic Conference’s Paul J. Hoernemann Most Valuable Defensive Lineman and as a first-team All-OAC selection, was a four-year varsity contributor who had his best season as a collegian this fall. He had a career-high 43 tackles, including a team-leading 15 tackles for losses of 97 yards and 10.5 quarterback sacks for minus 85 yards. His 10.5 QB Sacks was second in the OAC. He also forced two fumbles and recovered two others.  The highlight of his season came on the first offensive play from scrimmage when he caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Ryan O’Rourke (Avon).  Darbut ends his career with 82 tackles, including 26.5 tackles for losses of 147 yards and 21 QB sacks for minus 131 yards.

Kish, who was a two-time All-OAC linebacker, including garnering first-team honors this fall, ends his career ninth on the all-time tackle list with 270 career stops.  He was second on the team this season with 80 tackles, including 14 tackles for losses of 48 yards and 4.5 quarterback sacks. Kish also led the team with 35 solo tackles, forced two fumbles, recovered two others, intercepted one pass and had four other breakups. The highlight of his season came in a win at Heidelberg University where he stripped the Student Prince QB for a sack and forced fumble, scooped up the loose ball and ran 23 yards for a touchdown.  A year ago, Kish led the Yellow Jackets with 90 tackles. He was a four-year starter at outside (freshman and sophomore) and then middle linebacker (junior and senior).

The Yellow Jackets had an outstanding turnabout season and finished with a 7-3 record after compiling a 3-7 mark in 2009.  With 16 starters returning in 2011, the forecast is for another excellent season for B-W.
