The first Wildcat to wear #70 is a good friend of mine, Andrew Hall. Andrew made the first varsity team in 2008, his junior year, and emerged as a key player on a deep offensive line as the starting right tackle. He became the starting left tackle and was selected as a team captain in 2009, his senior season, receiving 1st-team All-District honors for his performance that year.

The next player to wear #70 was Marquise White. Marquise, who received the nickname "Bullneck" for his short, squat build, was a defensive tackle who made the varsity in 2010, his sophomore year. He eventually became a three-year starter on the defensive line. Despite being undersized (in addition to having 500 people on the varsity, we were also known for being undersized in the early years), Marquise always played with unrelenting desire and possessed one of the best motors I've ever seen from a defensive lineman. Marquise played college football at Siena Heights University, an NAIA school in Michigan.

Brian Biddy, an offensive lineman, made the varsity in 2013, his junior year, and was the starting right tackle that year. Brian became the starting left tackle in 2014. Unfortunately, his senior season was cut short due to an injury.

Chris Salinas made the varsity in 2015, his junior year, and was mainly a backup in his two seasons. After not being worn in 2017, Jared Gulley, another backup lineman, wore #70 in 2018.
