St. Edward is a football juggernaut in the state of Ohio. The program has won half of the Division I state championships over the past eight seasons.that what makes St. Edward special is “the pride in the program. The pride in the school. The pride in the tradition. The culture of the teams. The kids that come to St. Ed’s want to come for that.”A two-time All-American, Cousineau holds Ohio State’s single-season record with 211 tackles.
The Buffalo Bills selected Cousineau with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1979 NFL Draft. The Bills acquired the pick by trading O.J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers. Instead of going to Buffalo, Cousineau signed with the Montreal Alouettes, who offered him twice the amount of money the Bills could give him. He was the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in 1979.
At St. Edward, Cousineau was an All-Ohioan as a linebacker and a state finalist in wrestling. Cousineau later returned to St. Edward as an assistant coach, where he worked alongside St. Edward’s current head coach. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Bailey in the 6th round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He later won a Super Bowl as a member of the New England Patriots.
