Following a two-year hiatus, Washington University senior linebacker Jonathan Paramore has shown no rust en route to anchoring a Bears’ defense that lost many key contributors from a season ago.

Off the field, he is known for his brilliance in the sciences, his atrociousness in video games, and his fondness for beach volleyball, paintballing and four-wheeling. But there’s nothing that sophomore running back Cody Ratermann loves more than knocking defenders to the ground on Saturdays for the Washington University football team.

In the football team’s 24-12 win on Oct. 24 over Ohio Wesleyan University, Washington University senior linebacker Bryce Buchanan recorded a team-high eight tackles.
