Dane Steel Of Sheridan HS Named 2023 WY Gatorade Football Player Of The Year: For the 5th time in 6 years, the Sheridan High School Bronc Football team has produced the Wyoming Gatorade Player of the Year in the sport.
For the recent 2023 season, Dane Steel wins the honor this time.
This past season he had 970 yards receiving, but he found ways to score in all facets of the game.
Steel caught 9 TD passes, ran in 8 more, returned 6 punts, 2 pick 6’s and 1 kickoff return for scores.
He was named a unanimous all-state selection as a wide receiver, defensive back and return specialist and was the 4A offensive and defensive player of the year according to the coaches.
He says he learned a lot from his 2 older brothers.
Steel has already signed his letter of intent to play at Montana State.
During his time as a Sheridan Bronc, he says he saw his share of rivalry games, but a college football rivalry game has a much different feel to it, and he’s looking forward to the feud between the MSU Bobcats and the Montana Grizzlies.
Steel is also a 2-time Wyoming High School State Champion wrestler and a 2-time All-American.
