Coach Yonchiuk says “Saxton Suchanic is an excellent cover corner. He has great height 6’3″ and is very quick. Saxton’s size is a great asset as he is able to defend receivers of all sizes. His role will expand this season as Saxton will also be involved in the CY offense this fall. He has received strong interest from many Power 5 programs this off-season as a Cover Corner prospect”.
LET’S GET TO KNOW SAXTON
Why do you play football?
I play football because it gives you feelings that you can’t get anywhere else. Like the feeling of playing in front of the crowd and your classmates on a Friday night, and the feeling of being with your brothers on and off the field. Football is the ultimate team sport and there is nothing like it.
It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most?
I’m looking forward to winning. I’m also looking forward to playing in front of my family, friends, and classmates as well as having a good time on the field with my teammates.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
My favorite sports star is Lebron James because he is a perfect role model for an athlete, and I have been watching him since I was little.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play is week 3 of last season when I had a 90 yard pick six against Hempfield. The energy in the stadium was crazy, my teammates were hyping me up, and it was an all around great feeling.
What was last years season like for you?
The 2022 season was a ride for me. It was my first season on varsity so I was trying to ball out and turn a few heads. It was the most fun I had playing football, and it was on the biggest stage I’ve played on so far. I’m grateful for the opportunity I had, and the memories I made.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
I would watch the Creed movies because I really like the storyline, and all 3 movies are entertaining.
If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
My dad doesn’t really yell much, but my mom yells all the time. She’ll say things like “let’s go boys” “let’s go central” “get it together” and sometimes she’ll just scream. I can even pick out her voice in the crowd sometimes.
Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
One thing I’d love to do is score a game winning touchdown in the final seconds of a championship game.
Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?
My mentor is my mom. She drives me in everything I do, and she keeps me on track with football and life. She has always shown me the right way to do things and the type of person I should be.
Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
Baseball
