For each of the past three seasons, Anson fans have been treated to stellar play from a Tiger who is not just a special athlete — he’s “old school” extraordinary.

Corey Layne is his name, and by the time the senior wraps up the 2024 season, he could put his name in a prominent place among the school’s all-time gridiron greats. At the very least, he is primed to cap a career by guiding the Tigers to back-to-back playoff appearances — which is a notable achievement, given that the team won just two games two years ago.

But that’s “what could happen.” What “already has happened” for Layne is quite the story, in and of itself.
