Hall of Fame
Layton was an Offensive Lineman who had the distinction of being the lead blocker for two of the school’s top five rushers of all time, Tim Barrett (3,625 yards) and Mike Soeder (2,540 yards), both of whom are already in the Hall of Fame. He was a three-year starter and a two-time First Team All-President’s Athletic Conference choice at Guard.
During his time at John Carroll, the Blue Streaks were 21-6-2 and won two conference championships. Following his senior season, Layton received an invitation to play in the 1974 All-Ohio Shrine Bowl. Later on, he earned a spot on the "Modern Era All-Time Team" as an Offensive Lineman.Â
