Justin Washington, a starting defensive tackle in 2008, was the first Wildcat to wear 43. He was an absolute force on the line of scrimmage. That defensive line from Year One... they were nothing to mess with. Against Georgetown in 2008, he cleared a path for Josh Theut, who blocked a possible game-tying extra point to preserve a Cy Woods lead.
Justin remained a Wildcat in college as he played at the University of Arizona (boo); he earned Freshman All-American honors after posting 46 tackles (33 solo, 11.5 for loss) and 6 sacks in 2010. He also blocked a kick that year.

Corey Senior, a defensive end, switched to 43 in 2009 after wearing #66; he left the program in the middle of that season.
Corey passed away in March 2020. I remember him as someone who really enjoyed lifting and he turned that into a passion when he became a bodybuilder. We weren't particularly close, but the people who I came up with all have a special place in my heart.

Dominic Wilson, a defensive tackle, made the varsity as a junior in 2010 and in his two years, he became a key contributor to the defense and became a starter in his senior year. Dominic stood out because he was the only person on the field to wear a neck restrictor.
Dominic played college football at Ohio Wesleyan, a Division III school located in Delaware, Ohio, a small city near Columbus.

Taylor Holmes, an outside linebacker, was one of the first call-ups during the 2012 season. He would go on to form a solid duo with his classmate, Nick Csatlos; both were two-year starters for the Wildcats.
Taylor, who served as a team captain in his senior season, is now playing at Houston Baptist. His older brother, Trent, was a running back for the Wildcats from 2010-12 and now runs track at the Air Force Academy. Their younger brother, Trayse, is a freshman running back/linebacker at Cy Woods.
