Former Red Raider Headed to the NFL

It seems like he was always destined for something this big.

Former Barnstable High School four-sport standout Isaiah Voegeli (Class of 2009), who starred the past four years at Merrimack College as an all-conference wide receiver, signed a contract yesterday as an undrafted free agent with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.

Voegeli was a Red Raider varsity letterman in football, track, lacrosse and baseball, a rare, four-sport letterman. Voegeli's athleticism was so prominent in high school that he hit .478 in his first season as a shortstop for Barnstable Post 206 American Legion - three years removed from having played baseball.

The 5-foot-11, 177-pound wideout was dominant as a senior, registering the most catches (10.9) and receiving yards per game (154.4) of any player in the nation. He caught at least 10 balls for at least 100 yards in seven of 10 games this season, including a pair of games where he registered more than 260 yards. He finished the season with 108 catches for an even 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Voegeli joins former Red Raider (and now, coach) Mike Dwyer (Dallas Cowboys) and John Ellis (New England Patriots) as BHS players who either played who had a chance to play in the NFL.

Voegeli grew up on Camp Street in Hyannis with his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Voegeli and his sister.
