2007 — Redshirt season.

HIGH SCHOOL — Awarded state’s Class 2A defensive player of the year honors (The Oregonian) after helping lead the Antlers to the state championship game and an 11-2 record. Concentrated on the defensive side of the ball for most of 2006, averaging in double figures in tackles as a first-team all-Southern Cascade League linebacker. Posted 19 tackles in the state finals and added seven quarterback sacks in the semifinals.

Holds school’s power clean record (300 lbs.) in addition to earning first-team all-state as school’s center in basketball. Helped lead track team to 2007 state title by claiming championships in the shot put (51-2) and discus (155-2)."

Speculation as to whether he will be a TE or a DE.

"John Laidet brings a high level of athleticism to our defensive line," Ash said. "He is a versatile, active, aggressive player with a great frame and excellent growth potential. John also is a young man with great character and values and he is a proven achiever in the classroom. Best of all, he still has all four years of eligibility remaining."



This signing adds even more depth to a solid defensive line. We could use another corner, though.

No Thanks. The Griz are probably in need of a corner or two, aren't they?

Chalk another one up for the good guys. A solid DE would help our situation defensive depth immensely.
