All-Metro football offensive player of the year: McVay led the way as offensive line dominated for East St. Louis
East St. Louis senior right tackle Miles McVay is the Post-Dispatch All-Metro football offensive player of the year.
“It took all five of us to do what we needed to do,” McVay said.
What they did was perform unlike any offensive line seen these parts in a long time, maybe ever. The 6-foot-5 and 315-pound Patterson signed with Arkansas. The 6-foot-6 and 310-pound Henderson signed with Illinois. That’s three Power 5 players on one offensive line. It’s no wonder the Flyers produced more than 3,600 yards rushing, 2,000 yards passing and scored 86 touchdowns this season as they finished 12-2 and played in their third consecutive state championship game.
