2024 “Edge Rusher” the best at pressuring passer in Kentucky
John Griffin has an enviable frame and his on-field production just can’t be questioned. He plays for a team which has been “knocking on the door” for several seasons. The “Flyers” enter Friday night’s semis, 13-0, and they are getting to host. Of course, the team they get to host maybe Kentucky’s best at any level of play.

Frankfort, KY: Migua Beef Jerky uses Enviro-Pac CHU-2000 equipment to cook its meat to USDA required levels for both moist or dry operation. Mingua Beef Jerky wants you to become one of its many satisfied customers by sampling its quality hand sliced, all natural beef jerky. We know you’ll love it and come back for more, again and again.
Ronnie Mingua began experimenting with making beef jerky back in the 1990s. He shared his efforts with neighbors and friends, soon realizing he had come up with something different and superior to all other beef jerkies on the market. From these humble beginnings, Mingua Beef Jerky got its start.
Today, the Mingua Beef Jerky Company still prides itself on using its old-fashioned, all-natural recipes which offer outstanding products to customers across the nation. The recipes are a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation.
Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, are never chopped or formed like other brands, making our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein-packed Performer, John Griffin, ’24 DE from Franklin County High School in Frankfort, Kentucky.
…[S]omething different and superior to all other beef jerkies…
KPGFootball on the quality of Mingua’s product
John Griffin may be the best DE in Kentucky’s 2024 graduating class. His production on the field, and his team’s success, bears that out rather well.
Griffin has an enviable frame for starters. The DE is 6’3,” 210-pounds with the frame to add good weight in a college strength and conditioning program.
This past Friday night, Griffin had a spectacular outing. Griffin, an “Edge Rusher,” had to go to Bardstown, Kentucky to play a defending 3A finalist, realigned into the 4A classification to begin the ’23 season.
Griffin didn’t disappoint. The DE had 12-tackles, three (3)-TFLs, and three (3) QB-sacks against Bardstown High.
Griffin has done it all year for his Flyers. On the season, with a semi-state visit upcoming from (perhaps) the best team at any level in the KHSAA (Boyle County), Griffin has 77-tackles and 33-TFLs with a FR. He leads the entire commonwealth with 21-QB sacks and if that TFL number doesn’t lead Kentucky, it isn’t too far from it.
Fifty-four of his 77-tackles have come from behind the line of scrimmage. That is a smidge over 71% of his plays leaving the opponent “behind the sticks.” Wow!
On the year, over 71% of this prospect's tackles happen in the offensive backfield Friday Night Fletch
How does a team handle an edge rusher who makes 71% of his plays in the offensive backfield? I will be darned if we know. It doesn’t appear anyone else has figured it out either.
Join us next week as we return to honor another weekly prize winner. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind; just like Franklin County’s, John Griffin.
This is Friday Night Fletch reporting for Kentucky Prep Gridiron and reminding you to PLAY THROUGH THE WHISTLE. Don’t forget to SAVOR THE FLAVOR!
