Football: West Feature Athlete - West Allegheny's Jordan Diven
Name: Jordan Diven
High School: West Allegheny
Grade: 12
Sport: Football
Background info: West Allegheny enters the WPIAL semifinals as one of the hottest teams around, thanks largely to the play of the line as the Indians average over six yards per carry and have scored 33 rushing touchdowns. Defensively, West Allegheny has allowed two touchdowns in the last six games. This Indians team is proving that the whole is definitely more than the sum of its parts and offensive tackle/defensive end Jordan Diven is the epitome of that. He has come on strong his senior year and continues to improve each week.
Quotes from Coach Bob Palko: “Jordan has been around our program it seems like forever, his older brother played for us and we always knew Jordan could be something. He had surgery in the off-season and really went to work after that. He just took charge after that and he’s become a really good football player – he never wants to come out now and he’s doing all the extra things. He never takes it easy, just loves the process of being a football player and it’s been real interesting to see. He’s fun to be with.”
