Jason Wallick, a 1999 Malone graduate (Elementary Education), was a four-year letterman on the Pioneer football team. He was also a 1994 graduate of Dover High School.
One of the greatest linebackers to ever put on a Pioneer uniform, Wallick is one of only six Malone football players to ever earn the NAIA All-America honor and of those six, he is one of just three to have earned the honor twice, having earned Second Team accolades as a junior and a senior. He is a four-time All-MSFA Mideast Team recipient having earned the First Team honor three times and the Second Team award once. Wallick easily led the team in sacks in each of his four years (Fr.-15, So.-17, Jr.-21.5, Sr.-19.5) and is also, by far, the current career sacks leader for Malone with an incredible 73 sacks. He also currently holds the school record for tackles for loss in a game with eight (during the 1997 season), in a season with 33 and for a career with 81. He is tied for most fumble recoveries in a season (4; tied with two others) and is tied for second in career fumble recoveries (6).
In addition, all four of the Malone teams he was on (’94 thru ’97) are currently ranked in Malone’s top five for “average points allowed per game in a season”. He was a member of the 1995 and 1996 teams that won MSFA league titles and a member of the first-ever Pioneer team (1995) to qualify for the NAIA playoffs. The combined record of the Malone teams during his four years as a Pioneer was 30-11-1 (including a 10-1-1 mark in 1995).
Where are they now (as of Oct., 2013)?
Wallick is currently employed as a seventh grade Language Arts teacher (15 years) and head football coach (13 years) at Garaway High School. He and his wife, Kelly, and their children, Emmerson (11), Laiken (8), Jayce (6), Graem Michael (2), reside in Dover, Ohio.
Jason is still the Malone record holder for career sacks as well as numerous other Malone records.
