St. Ignatius has produced 21 Ohio State players during Chuck Kyle’s lengthy tenure as head coach, including Anthony Gonzalez, LeCharles Bentley and Dre’Mont Jones.
MADE PLAYOFFS IN FIVE OF LAST SIX YEARSA football powerhouse in the state of Ohio and nationwide, St. Ignatius’ 11 state championships are the most in OHSAA history. The Wildcats have also won four national championships. All of those titles have been under the leadership of head coach Chuck Kyle, who has been St. Ignatius’ head coach since 1983.
"St. Ignatius is an enormously challenging academic experience. Any grade that you got in a class at Ignatius is one that you earned. There was no free lunch in that respect,” Gonzalez told“I always felt like I was very fortunate in that my high school experience and my college experience were very seamless. Or at least it felt that way. And a big part of that was the focus on academics, for sure.
Ted Ginn Jr. and Santonio Holmes received many of the accolades during Gonzalez' time with the team, but Gonzalez was also a talented receiver that defenses had to account for. His incredible leaping catch in the 2005 version of The Game enabled the Buckeyes to punch in the winning touchdown with 37 seconds remaining on the clock.Gonzalez was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the final pick of the first round of the 2007 NFL draft.
In 2018, Jones became the first defensive lineman in Ohio State history to score two touchdowns in the same season and earned first-team All-American and All-Big Ten honors.
