The first member of the Wildcat family to wear 94 was Anthony Villamagna, a defensive tackle. His father, George (well, to me, he's Mr. Villamagna), is a former history teacher at Cy Woods. Anthony was selected as one of the first team captains in 2008 and was a key member of the defensive front along with Josh Theut, Justin Washington, and Glenn Etienne and earned 2nd-team All-District honors in District 15-5A.
After Cy Woods, Anthony played for a season at Columbia (archived profile page).

Christian Hynes was one of the few underclassmen to make the 2009 squad, although he shuffled between the varsity and the JV that year. He became a regular in 2010 as part of a deep and talented defensive line.

The most recent player to wear 94 was Kyle Van Buren, a backup defensive end. He also wore 71; players wearing more than one jersey in the same season is not uncommon at Cy Woods.

Chris Statom made the Opening Day roster in 2015, but he shuffled between the JV and the varsity that season. Max Sweet originally wore 94 when he made the varsity as a junior in 2016, then switched to #74 in 2017.
Cody Johnson began the 2018 season wearing #93, but I guess damage to the jersey resulted in him having to switch to #94.
