Three Tiger Football Players Sign Collegiate Letters-of-Intent
Three Tiger Football Players Sign Collegiate Letters-of-Intent
There’s Early Signing Day, which was this past November, and then there’s the traditional Signing Day. February 4 was the latter and involved three Massillon football players. They include Anthony McMullen (Ball State University), Noah Jenkins (Walsh University) and Tra’Yon Williams (Central State University).
Anthony McMullen played running back for the 2025 Tigers and shared duties with teammate Savior Owens. During the season he rushed 141 times for 710 yards (5.0 ave.) and scored six touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 42 yards and returned five kickoffs for 102 yards (20.4 ave.). His best game was against Warren Harding when he rushed 22 times for 158 yards (7.2 ave.) and scored a touchdown on an 11-yard run. McMullen will play next year for Division I Ball State, an Indiana university that is a member of the Mid-American Conference. Last year the Cardinals finished with an overall record of 7-5, while going 3-7 in league play.
Noah Jenkins was a backup at free safety to start the season and worked his way into a starting position during Week 7 against Cardinal Ritter, Missouri. For the season he recorded 13 solo tackles, 15 assists, 2 pass interceptions (returned for 97 yards) and 2 pass breakups. Against Cornerstone Christian, TX, he was had his best outing numbers-wise with 4 solo tackles and 5 assists, with his nine tackles ranking second best on the team. Jenkins will play next year for Division II Walsh University. The Cavaliers last year finished with an overall record of 6-5, including 3-5 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.
Tra’Yon Williams was a 2-year starter at free safety. During his 3-year career he had 56 solo tackles, 33 assists, 6.0 tackles for loss, 1 quarterback sack, 1 pass interception (returned for 30 yards), 3 pass breakups and 1 forced fumble. Tra’Yon will play next year at Central State University, a Division II college located in Wilberforce, Ohio. Last season the Marauders posted a record of 3-7 and 3-5 in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
“Early Signing Day” was beneficial for three other players, including Jay’Dyn Williams (Indiana University), Lennox Lemon (Kent State University) and Sam Dossous (Bowling Green State University).

2025 Massillon Football Squad Closes the Books with Award…
2025 Massillon Football Squad Closes the Books with Award Ceremony
It was the final opportunity for coaches, parents and fans to pay one final tribute to the efforts put forth by the players of the 2025 Massillon football team. The event was held on Tuesday evening at the Washington High School auditorium.
Father Ed Gretchko was on hand once again to open the festivities with an invocation, while he spoke of the players coming together as a community to strive for a common goal.
Next up was outgoing Massillon Tiger Booster Club President Mary Lou Wilton, who was recognized as the first ever woman president of the club. Mary Lou thanked everyone for their support. “You (the players) all have made my year very, very special,” she said. Next year’s president is Jim Mutigli.
Finally, it was a turn at the mic for Coach Nate Moore, the winningest head coach in Tiger history, having just completed his 11th year at the helm. He opened by thanking everyone: players and coaches and all who contributed to the program, individuals and organizations alike.
“What a tremendous season,” he said, “I’m proud of these guys. To win nine games with the schedule we had? Ninth consecutive regional finals. Beating No. 1 Lakewood St. Edward. Complete domination of North Canton Hoover and Columbus DeSales. Nothing better than beating our rivals to the east; ten straight victories is very special and it won’t be forgotten.
“So proud of our senior class (with just 16 players at season’s end). I want to thank you guys across the board. It was a rebuilding year. And the seniors supported that effort. I love this senior class. What a fun group. I will miss you guys.
“Underclassmen, 2026 will be the Year of the Tiger. We can’t wait to get back at it. Lead, follow or get out of the way!”
Below are all the award winners:

During the event each player was recognized by his respective position coach and also received several momentos related to his participation on the team.
In an emotional moment, Coach Moore said farewell to his son Eli with a long hug. Although Eli did not reach his goal of becoming the starting quarterback, he was highly instrumental in helping his teammates as both a player on the field and a co-captain leader off to achieve the successes that they did. For there is nothing better for a football coach than to have mentored his son in a sport that both love.
Just recently, Ja’Dyn Williams was named the recipient of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association’s Art Teynor Award. This honor recognizes excellence in football performance, leadership, character and academic achievement. It is likened to the Mr. Football Award that is annually presented by the OHSAA to the best player in the state of Ohio.
“Ja’Dyn represents everything this award stands for,” Massillon head football coach Nate Moore said in a statement he released earlier. “He is a relentless competitor, a leader in our program, and an outstanding student. His legacy at Massillon will be the type that other great players are measured against.” A 4.0 student, Williams was also selected All-Stark County, 1st Team All-District and 1st Team All-Ohio. Next year he will attend Indiana University to both play football and continue onward with his academic career.
Four Massillon Players Selected as All-Ohio
Four Massillon Players Named All-Ohio
The Ohio High School Athletic Association has recognized four 2025 Massillon football players with Division II All-Ohio honors. The group includes junior running back Savior Owens, senior linebacker Ja’Dyn Williams, junior defensive back Deontay Malone and senior defensive lineman Sam Dossous. The four were members of a squad that finished the season with a 9-4 record and advanced to the regional championship game.
First Team
- Savior Owens – The 5′-11, 210 lbs., junior running back brings both power and speed to the game. During the season he carried the ball 222 times for 1,572 yards and scored 21 touchdowns, while averaging 7.1 yards per attempt. Included in that was eight 100-yard games. His 293 yards against Big Walnut ranks third in the Massillon record book, just behind Willtrell Hartson’s 324 and Travis McGuire’s 302. He also ranks 5th with 304 single-game all-purpose yards. For the season he is 6th in total yards, 7th in yards per game and 7th in touchdowns. Owens holds an offer from the University of Wisconsin of the Big Ten.
- Ja’Dyn Williams – Williams was a 3-starter at inside linebacker, standing at 6′-2″, 205 lbs., He plays the game right, with high level of speed and physicality, along with great anticipation in responding to the play. Williams finished the year first on the team in total tackles (108), tackles-for-loss (12.5), quarterback sacks (5.5) and recovered fumbles (5). In addition, his performance numbers have landed 14 times in the Tiger record book. Ja’Dyn will play next year at Indiana University of the Big Ten.
Second Team
- Deontay Malone – Malone was selected as an All-Ohioan at defensive cornerback, but the 6′-0″,175 lb., junior also excelled on offense at wide receiver and special teams as a returner. During the season he recorded 39 tackles, 3 pass interceptions, 6 pass breakups, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery. The speedy receiver was also second on the team with 34 pass receptions for 498 yards and 7 touchdowns. In addition, he returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Columbus DeSales, the third longest in Massillon history. And he averaged 15.7 yards per punt return, which ranks 9th in the book. To tap it off, he returned a punt 50 yards against Canton McKinley to both win the game and become the first ever Tiger player to score against the Bulldogs on a punt return. With a year to go, Malone holds an offer from North Carolina University of the ACC.
Third Team
- Sam Dossous – The 6′-4″, 220 lbs., senior defensive lineman had a monstrous year after not even starting the first game of the season. He finished the year 5th on the team with 43 total tackles, 2nd with 10.5 tackles-for-loss and 2nd with 3.0 quarterback sacks. His quickness off the ball turned him into a devastating disruptor of opponents’ rushing attacks. Next year Dossous will play for Bowling Green University of the Mid-American Conference.

Three Massillon Players Sign Early for the Next Level
Three Massillon Players Sign Early for the Next Level
Early signing day came up big for three Tiger players as they selected their respective colleges in order to continue their football and academic journeys. All will be playing next year in Division I, including Ja’Dyn Williams (Indiana University), Lennox Lemon (Kent State University) and Sam Dossous (Bowling Green University). The 2025 team finished with a record of 9-4 and had several major accomplishments, including a fourth straight victory over Division I, Region 1 champion Lakewood St. Edward, a victory over Missouri power Cardinal Ritter, a tenth consecutive win over rival Canton McKinley and a spot in the Division II, Region 7 finals.
Ja’Dyn Williams (6′-2″, 205) was a 3-year starter for the Tigers at middle linebacker. During the 2025 season he led the team in several categories, including solo tackles (59) , assists (49), total tackles (108), tackles-for-loss (12.5), quarterback sacks (5.5) and fumble recoveries (5). Included in that was 17 tackles against Cleveland Glenville and 15 against Rabun Gap, GA. Williams is also the winner of the Touchdown Club’s Hardnose Award, which is presented to the player that is considered to be the toughest on the field. Ja’Dyn, given his good size, great speed and uncanny ball instincts, will now take all of that to the Big Ten and Indiana University.
Lennox Lemon (6′-2″, 185) played two years at cornerback. Following a fine junior season he suffered a serious leg injury and was unable to return to the fold this year until the final game of the regular season. But that didn’t prevent him from receiving a scholarship offer from Kent State University of the Mid-American Conference. As a starter during his junior year he recorded 30 tackles, with a pair of pass interceptions (one returned 44 yards for a touchdown), 6 pass breakups and a fumble recovery.
Sam Dossous (6′-4″, 220) was a non-factor in 2024 and was not even listed as a starter for the first game of this year. But that didn’t last long and he ended up with a monstrous season, while parlaying that into a scholarship offer from Bowling Green University of the Mid-American Conference. From his defensive end spot, Dossous finished with 43 total tackles, 10.5 tackles-for-loss (2nd on the team to Williams) , 3.0 quarterback sacks (also 2nd) and two forced fumbles.
Congratulations to these fine Tiger players.
Several 2025 Tigers Make Their Mark in the Record…
Several 2025 Tigers Make Their Mark in the Record Book
A feature major of the massillontigers.com website is that of maintaining the historical performance records of both the individual players and the teams, for the categories of single game, single season and career. The effort goes back as far as available resources allow. It started with data gleaned from various newspaper stories. Then, beginning in the 1950s game statisticians were employed to record official numbers, initially on paper and at present using computer programs. Fortunately, most of these resources are preserved in the MassMu’s Paul Brown Museum, which simplifies the overall task of generating the Top Ten records.
This season, although the team finished with a 9-4 record, there were still moments when players shined sufficiently to have their performances recorded in the books. Making their mark are Savior Owens, Manny Patterson, Ja’Dyn Williams, Deontay Malone and Mateo Herrera.
Savior Owens was the workhorse in the ground game, mimicking that of Jamir Thomas from a few years ago. This season Owens rushed 222 times for 1,572 yards and 21 touchdowns, with an average of 7.1 yards per attempt. He also had eight 100-yard games. His greatest effort came against Big Walnut in the regional finals, when he rushed 35 times for 293 yards and 3 touchdowns. The 293 yards ranks third in the record book, just behind Willtrell Hartson’s 324 yards against Westerville South in 2020 and Travis McGuire’s 302 yards against Canton McKinley in 1991. His 35 carries fell just one short of the Top 10. He also placed 5th with 304 all-purpose yards. For the season he ranks 6th in total yards, 7th in yards per game and 7th in touchdowns.
Manny Patterson quarterbacked the team for the entire season. Although the Tigers appeared to put the passing game on the shelf following the Week 6 game against Football North, Patterson did have one last opportunity to shine. That moment came in Round 2 of the playoffs against North Canton Hoover, when he completed 12 of 13 passes for 226 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Vikings were obviously concerned about the ability to defend the pass against the Tigers’ athletic receivers and thus played well back in coverage. That opened the door for Manny to exploit the edges with tag screens, which put the receivers in advantageous positions for turning them into long gainers. His 92.3 pass completion percentage in that game ranks 3rd in the record book and his 339.9 efficiency rating ranks 2nd. For the season, Patterson completed 112 of 174 passes for 1,415 yards and 19 touchdowns. His 64.4 pass completion percentage ranks 2nd in the record book and his 159.5 efficiency rating ranks 10th. He also touches the record book in the career category, as he currently holds the Massillon record with a completion percentage of 63.4%, with a season yet to play.
Ja’Dyn Williams, Massillon’s stellar inside linebackers, had two remarkable years as a starter. As a result, his name is all over the defensive categories. In fact, he placed a whopping 14 times including the following:
- 13.0 single tackle points vs. Cleveland Glenville (5th)
- 59 single season solo tackles (7th)
- 83.5 single season tackle points (8th)
- 5 single season fumble recoveries (2nd)
- 109 career solo tackles (5th)
- 101 career assisted tackles (9th)
- 210 career total tackles (6th)
- 159.5 career tackle points (4th)
- 26.5 career tackles for loss (6th)
- 124 career tackles for loss yards (3rd)
- 11.0 career quarterback sacks (3rd)
- 87.5 career quarterback sack yards (3rd)
- 3 career forced fumbles (3rd)
- 5 career fumble recoveries (2nd)
Deontay Malone was involved in every aspect of the game: offense as a wide receiver, defense as a cornerback and special teams as a return man. Against Columbus DeSales in Round 3 of the playoffs, Malone returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. That puts him in 3rd place in the longest kick return category, behind John Francisco, who returned one 105 yards against Alliance in 1952, and Tyler Hackenbracht, who return one 100 yards against Teays Valley last year. For the season, Deontay averaged 15.7 yards per punt return, including a 50-yard romp for the winning score against Canton McKinley. The season average mark ranks 9th in the record book. He also excelled in kick returns, fielding 15 balls and returning them for 393 yards. The 15 returns ranks 9th and the yards ranks 4th. Incidentally, the punt return against the Bulldogs is the first one ever for a TD in the long history of that rivalry.
Mateo Herrera is Mr. Reliable when it comes to kicking points after touchdown. This was his third year as a varsity kicker during which he converted 56 of 57, with a 98.2% success rate. These numbers rank him 5th for kicks made, 7th for kicks attempted and 9th for kick percentage. During his 3-year career, Herrera has converted 133 of 137 kicks, at 97.1%. These marks rank him 4th for kicks made, 4th for kicks attempted and 4th for kick percentage. For makes and attempts he is behind some great company, including Alex Bauer (205 of 213), Steve Schott (171 of 178) and Andrew David (162 of 174).
Congratulations to these fine players, all of whom return next year, with the exception Ja’Dyn Williams, who is off to Indiana University.
Ja’Dyn Williams Receives Touchdown Club’s Hardnose Award
Ja’Dyn Williams Receives Touchdown Club’s Hardnose Award
At the end of each season the Touchdown Club honors one of the players with the “Bob Commings Memorial Hardnose Award.” That player would have received the most votes from among weekly tallies taken by the club members. Past honorees include John Mulbach (Ohio State), David Whitfield (Ohio State), Chris Spielman (Ohio State), Shawn Crable (Michigan), Brian Gamble (Illinois/Ashland) and Dorian Pringle (Bowling Green).
Bob Commings was a very successful coach for the Tigers from 1969 to 1973, compiling a record of 43-6-2, including Massillon’s last state poll championship (1970) and a qualification for Ohio’s first ever state playoffs (1972). Commings departed following the 1973 season to become head coach of the University of Iowa and later coached at GlenOak High School, for whom their field was later named.
This year’s Hardnose Award winner is Ja’Dyn Williams, the outstanding linebacker who led his team to a 9-4 record and a spot in the playoff regional finals.
Williams was a 3-year starter for the Tigers and reached his pinnacle during his senior year both on and off the field. He is everything a coach would want in a linebacker. He has good size at 6′-2″, 205 lbs. and he plays the game right, with a high level of speed and physicality. He also possesses the ability anticipate the play and respond quickly toward it. In game action he was tops in several statistical defensive categories, while recording the following numbers:
- 59 solo tackles (1st) and 49 assists (1st) for 108 total tackles (1st)
- 12.5 tackles-for-loss (1st) for 61 lost yards (1st)
- 5.5 quarterback sacks (1st) for 41 lost yards (1st)
- 1 pass interception, 2 pass breakups
- 5 recovered fumbles (1st) and 1 forced fumble
- 1 blocked kick (1st)
Against Cleveland Glenville he started the season with a bang, with 17 total tackles, including 9 solos. He also had 15 against Rabun Gap, 12 against Canton GlenOak and 9 against Lakewood St. Edward.
While Williams was great on the field, Tiger Head Coach Nate Moore, when addressing the members of the Touchdown Club, talked at length about his attributes as a co-captain and leader of the team. Moore predicted that Ja’Dyn, being the person he is both on and off the the field, is setting himself up to enjoy a long career in the sport. Nate also felt that Ja’Dyn ranks right up there with the best linebackers to ever play for Massillon. Come December 3rd Williams will sign a letter-of-intent to play football for the Indiana Hoosiers of the Big Ten Conference.
The guest speaker at the event was Bob Commings Jr., son of Bob Sr., for whom the award was named. Bob also presented the trophy to Ja’Dyn.
Congratulations to Ja’Dyn Williams.
Mistakes Prove Costly in Playoff Loss to Big Walnut
Mistakes Prove Costly in Playoff Loss to Big Walnut
Statistics
Bracket
Revenge was on the minds of the Tiger football family for the entire season as both Massillon and Big Walnut appeared headed for a showdown in the Division II, Region 7 finals. But it wasn’t to be. The Golden Eagles played a nearly perfect game in a 27-21 victory, while the Tigers were the ones that made the mistakes and literally gave the game away.
The errors were numerous. In the first quarter a punt snap sailed high over the head of the punter, placing the ball at the five yard line. Three plays later Big Walnut quarterback Eli Stumpf (2nd Team All-Central District) found Brody Hatfield (1st Team All-District) open in the back corner of the end zone for the score. In the second quarter the Tigers surrendered a blocked punt, giving the ball away at the six. Stump subsequently carried it in on second down. And then there were the two Eagle field goals, both following short drives, of 25 and 31 yards. One of these was set up by a pass interception. Then, there were the ten penalties for 100 yards, many of which hampered the Massillon offense early in the game.
The Tigers might have overcome all of that had they possessed any kind of a passing attack. The quarterback rarely had time to set up, the receivers weren’t getting open and the passes were mostly errant as a result. Perhaps the coaching staff anticipated this, as they spent the entire night running ball. In fact, Massillon threw just three times up to the point when they fell behind 27-21.
While statistics don’t tell the whole story, Massillon did out-gain Big Walnut 355-196 in total yardage, with a 287-100 advantage in rushing yards. Running back Savior Owens, behind the fine blocking of the linemen, was the lone offensive bright spot with a monster game, as he churned out 293 yards and three touchdowns off of 35 carries, while averaging 8.4 yards per attempt. Included in that were TD runs of 29, 44 and 58 yards.
Defensively, the players were put in difficult situations. However, they did manage to hold the Central District’s Offensive Player of the Year to just 104 yards (4.7 ave.) and no touchdowns.
It was on Massillon’s second possession that the errant punt snap occurred. After an exchange of possessions, the Tigers went on a 10-play, 83-yard drive, with all plays on the ground, culminating in Owens’ 29-yard touchdown run to tie the score.
On the next series Massillon scored again, this time moving 64 yards in 3 plays, with Owens racing in from the Big Walnut 40. Then came the blocked punt, with the score quickly tied at 14 apiece, followed shortly thereafter by an Eagle field goal by Owen Pyles of 28 yards. Thus, the halftime score was 17-14.
Big Walnut received the kickoff to start the third quarter and produced their only long offense of the night, an 8-play, 66-yard drive, ending with a 1-yard quarterback sneak. It upped the margin to 24-14.
Only, the Tigers got right back into it when Owens broke loose for a 58-yard touchdown run on the second play of a 63-yard drive. Now it was just a matter of finding that fourth score. Even with Big Walnut tacking on a 24-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter and a score of 27-21 there was still a chance.
The Tigers had three cracks at it. On the first they drove to the Eagle 22 with 4:30 left and elected to forgo a 4th down field goal attempt, only to be stopped on downs when a pass was broken up. On the second, following a recovered fumble at the Big Walnut 35, they faced a fourth and four from the eight with 2:45 left. Again they opted to go for the first down. But the attempt picked up just two yards and they turned the ball over.
The final try began at the Eagle 43 with 1:30 left on the clock and all three time outs having been used. The Tigers managed to get off nine plays, with quarterback Manny Patterson completing three passes. The first was four yards to Malone and out of bounds to stop the clock. Following a sack, the second was 16 yards on fourth down to Braylon Gamble, who made a great catch, while leaping high, then bobbling the ball and finally securing it for a first down. The ball was then spiked to stop the clock. Then, on 4th and 23, following yet another sack, Patterson launched a desperation pass toward the end zone. Within a mad scramble for the ball, Jadyce Thigpen was able to run it down and went immediately out of bounds at the 12 with just 1.7 seconds left. One last try. But Patterson never got the pass off as he was sacked for the third time.
Massillon ends the season with a 9-4 record, the second worst in Nate Moore’s eleven years as Tiger head coach. Big Walnut improves to 12-1 and advances to face Cincinnati Anderson (13-0) in the state semifinals in a repeat of last year’s match.
