Allan Wasonga, starred at Parkersburg High School, was featured often on WOUB's Gridiron Glory

Also from Point Pleasant HIgh School. He never played for Marshall as serious legal troubles had followed him for sometime.

Sad story. He was a nice kid during his time at Parkersburg HS, but I think several bad decisions after graduation caused an extreme downhill spiral.

He got into a fight with our strength coach and was kicked off the team. Was into drugs etc pretty bad and I would assume this was the reason he turned up dead. Kid was full of talent, just a tragic way for his story to end. Could have been so much more.

Wasonga was a stud in HS. Could've played for a BCS level team if he didn't have issues off the field.

I covered a few of his games with Gridiron Glory. Was amazed by his ability. Sad to see how things turned out for him.
