Shaw’s Roderic Williams is the state’s Defensive Player of the Year in Division IV: All-Ohio football 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A 24-sack season netted All-Ohio Defensive Player of the Year honors for Shaw senior Roderic Williams.

Williams helped Shaw (5-3), which had not made the playoffs since 2011, reach the third round of the OHSAA Division IV playoffs. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior also had 80 tackles, six forced fumbles, three recoveries, an interception and eight pass deflections.

He is one of 11 area players to make the Division IV first team, announced Tuesday by the OHSAA and Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. Other first-teamers include Lake Catholic quarterback Joe Malchesky with linebackers Simon Taraska and Ryan Joy after their run to the Division IV state title game. The Cougars lost that game, 31-28, to Van Wert and the state’s offensive player of the year, Owen Treece.

West Virginia recruit Jaylen Anderson of Perry and a trio of Keystone players, including, 1,600-yard rusher Gideon Lampron, sophomore receiver Ryne Shackelford and lineman Alex Pataky also made the first team, representing Northeast Ohio State.

Williams’ teammate, safety Kishon Pierce, received a first-team nod, too.

The Division V teams also were announced Tuesday, following Divisions VI and VII on Monday. Divisions II and III will be revealed Wednesday, followed by the Division I team and this year’s Mr. Football on Thursday.

Here are the All-Ohio teams for Division IV. Players from schools in the cleveland.com/Plain Dealer coverage area — which includes Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit counties — are bolded:
