Edmond North gets big gift in lineman Will Wiedenmann

EDMOND — Edmond North’s football team got a nice gift after fall practices started.

Will Wiedenmann (6-foot-7, 336 pounds) moved from Statham, Ga., to Edmond.

“He came a couple days after practice started, and asked if we had a spot on the team for him,” Huskies coach Jeremy Dombek said. “I took one look at him and said, ‘I think I can find one.’”

Wiedenmann passed his physical, and the OSSAA cleared him to play last Thursday, Dombek said.

Wiedenmann will be in the starting lineup at left guard when the Huskies open the season on Thursday at Southmoore.

“He’s still learning our scheme, but there’s no doubt that he’s a player,” Dombek said.

“There’s no bones about it — he’s going to raise some eyebrows when he comes off the bus.”
