Week 6
Bobby
BRANDENSTEIN
1995-1998
The sixth edition of “Where Are They Now” for the 2026 season, presented by Ben Aucoin, State Farm Agent, is Bobby Brandenstein ‘99!
As a senior, Bobby was a First Team All-Central District Linebacker and was recognized as Special Mention All-Ohio on the 1998 Division-III State Championship team that allowed only 8.8 points per game. He went onto play collegiately at Akron and Otterbein.
Here, the former Stallion looks back on his playing days at DeSales, including a perfect 4-0 record against Watterson, two state championships, and the brotherhood that made those teams so special…
A special thanks to State Farm Agent and SFD Assistant Coach Ben Aucoin for sponsoring the series once again!
