The honors keep coming for Michael Munoz, Moeller's 6-foot-7, 285-pound offensive lineman.
USA Today named Munoz to its All-USA high school football first team, which appears in today's editions. Munoz is the only Ohio player on the prestigious squad.
“This is a great honor and what I've personally worked for as a player,” Munoz said. “I just wanted to play my best this year and thought if I did, the rest would take care of things.”
Michael Munoz, the son of former Bengals and NFL Hall of Fame offensive tackle Anthony, recently committed to play at Tennessee. His sister, Michelle, a basketball player for Mason, also chose Tennessee.
Munoz was also named to the Associated Press Division I All State first team and also is the Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year.
Florida-bound quarterback Brock Berlin of Shreveport (La.) Evangel Christian was named offensive player of the year. D.J. Williams, a linebacker from Concord (Calif.) De La Salle, was defensive player of the year. He is considering Michigan and Florida State, among others.
