Amherst’s Ryan Kish, a Baldwin-Wallace middle linebacker, was named to the second team of the Division III All-Ohio team.

Kish, who was a two-time All-OAC linebacker, including first-team honors this fall, ends his career ninth on the all-time tackle list with 270 career tackles. He was second on the team this season with 80 tackles, including 14 tackles for losses of 48 yards and 4.5 sacks. Kish also led the team with 35 solo tackles, forced two fumbles, recovered two others, intercepted one pass and had four other breakups.

Last year, Kish led the Yellow Jackets with 90 tackles. He was a four-year starter at outside (freshman and sophomore) and then middle linebacker (junior and senior).

The Yellow Jackets had an outstanding turnabout season and finished with a 7-3 record after compiling a 3-7 mark in 2009.
