Cy Woods All-Time Roster: Number 56

And now, on to 56.

Nick Goynes, an offensive lineman in 2008, was the first player to wear #56. Nick is another Wildcat who answered the call to serve; he joined the Marines after graduating and served a tour in Afghanistan.

Scott Wiesmann, a starting guard, wore #56 in 2009. I have known Scott since fifth grade and the one thing I remember most about him is that he is a die-hard Packers fan.

A converted defensive lineman, Scott was selected to serve as a team captain in 2009 and, after Cy Woods, he played as a tight end for the University of Saint Mary, an NAIA school in Kansas. 

Scott is currently an algebra teacher, the offensive line coach, and a JV basketball coach at Tomball Memorial High School.

The next two players to wear #56 did so for more than one season.

Tyler Mock, an offensive lineman, made the Opening Night roster as a sophomore in 2009, but he was mainly a JV player that season. 

A tackle, Tyler became a full-time varsity player in 2010 and earned valuable playing time as the Wildcats rotated many linemen. That experience proved valuable for him as he eventually became the starting right tackle as a senior in 2011. Against Cy-Fair in 2011, Tyler wore #57, as the #56 jersey (the home red) had a snafu that needed to be fixed.

Logan Wright was an offensive lineman who made the varsity in 2012, his junior year. He was a left tackle who also played center on occasion.
