Roy C. Ketcham's Tierney Will Take His Talents to Hobart

More recruiting news from the Lower Hudson Valley as Roy C. Ketcham Senior HS's (Wappingers Falls, NY) Roddy Tierney has selected Hobart to continue his academic and athletic careers. Tierney starred at RB and Safety for the Ketcham Indians, talling 42 tackles, including 10 TFL. At 6'1" 200 lbs he'll likely line up as an OLB in Hobart's 4-4 system.

His Coach Pat Keevins described Tierney to the Poughkeepsie Journal as "one of the most physical players I’ve coached, [Tierney] really set the tone for us being more physical than we have been in the past. I believe it was our defense that really separated us this year. It was Roddy’s play that really set the tone.”

Roddy's play on both sides of the ball (he rushed for five TDs and caught three as a RB) sparked Ketcham to a Section 1 Class AA League 1 title. Tierney's athletism and aggressive play is readily apparent in his highlight reel. I have to say this kid looks like he may be one of the best incoming players in the Hobart Class of 2018.

Please join me in welcoming Roddy into the Statesmen Football Family.

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
