John Depler
John Depler, the first All-Ohio football
player, ended perhaps the best 4-year career of any Ashland lineman.
The A's held NCO champion Shelby to a scoreless tie on a great
goal line stand which began first and one-inch and ended at the
25-yard line after four downs. Bricker Ganyard and Harley Freer
led an offense that totaled 2,513 yards for the season including
458 against Marion and 489 against Wooster. |

 Ashland's famous "Iron Man" started at the center and linebacker four years from 1930-1933. John made 35 starts and was a sub in one game his freshman year when coach Starn started the 2nd team against Mt. Gilead. The 1932 Shelby game was the only game he did not play because of a twisted ankle from a non football injury. John Depler at 5'10 1/2" and 165 pounds was a middle linebacker and was noted for his phenominal ability in diagnosing plays on defense. The 1933 Norwalk game was his greatest performance. The 1933 captain was selected on the All Ohio Scholastic Football Team. Most longtime AHS football viewers rate John Depler as the greatest lineman to ever play for the Orange and Black.
