Jacoby Clark, Trimble County, is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @TrimbleGameDay, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

’28 WR/FS has frame and talent

Trimble County in Bedford, Kentucky has been struggling to win games. However, the Raiders sport some interesting talent and some of it is framed out the way one would like. Jacoby Clark is one of those. Clark doubles at WR and FS. While he is more of a defender (30-tackles, 11-TFLs, six QB-sacks) one can’t discount his lone reception for a nine-yard TD. The entire team only registered five (5) TD receptions on the year so he was 20% of that output. Clark plays two other varsity sports at Trimble County as he is a baseball and basketball regular in addition to football. We like him in football and would like to see him put on a few pounds (6’4,” 175) and get some run at rush end. Clearly the kid loves getting down hill.

Our product is a Kentucky Comfort Creator. These days, isn’t that exactly what Kentucky needs?

This week our feature is about Jacoby Clark. Clark played on Bedford, Kentucky’s Trimble County High School and was a star on the football team as a defender as well as a regular in both baseball and basketball. He appears likely to contribute to the ’26 ball club in multiple phases and will be instrumental to the defense’s ability to defend the drop-back, down field passing game.

Bedford, KY: Trimble County has struggled. The Class A, 4th District team was 2-9 in 2025 but beat Gallatin County 20-7 and put it all on Berea, 42-0.

Mike Genton has been doing yeoman’s work building the program. The first place for anyone to start building is in the player talent development department.

Jacoby Clark looks to fit the bill there. Clark is 6’4,” 175-pounds of defensive down-hill. Clark had 11-TFLs and six (6) QB-sacks amongst his 30-stops a year ago. That isn’t too bad for a team which managed 59-TFLs and 16-sacks total.

Offensively, Clark aligns at wide receiver. If there is a criticism, it is Clark appears undervalued in the passing attack. Clark caught a single pass a year ago for a nine (9) yard TD.

Passing isn’t the offensive forté at Trimble County. The team threw for 671-yards and five (5) TDs a season ago and was picked 15-times.

You may say Clark only caught the one TD pass or you could say he caught 20% of his team’s total aerial TDs. It is the to-may-toe, to-mah-toe thing.

You will find everything in life is about perspective. It is all a matter of how you perceive it.

We have before conceded we prefer high school athletes who play a variety of sports over specialization. We have found college recruiters agree with our view.

Clark plays baseball, basketball, and football. So in addition to his being a multi-phase, footballer; he is also a three-sport, varsity athlete. That is a skill set in high demand and one would have to figure this kid has a next level future somewhere.

Talk about your diamonds in the rough; if I were a recruiting coordinator for one of the seventeen (17) colleges fielding rosters in the commonwealth of Kentucky, I would have to take a hard, long look at this cat. Clark’s height, length, and varied, competitive skill set would necessitate the consideration.

Trimble County is a place which routinely struggles for suitable roster talent. The program took from 1984-1996 off from even fielding a team.

There are good players on virtually every roster. If following us hasn’t taught you a thing, it should have taught you that.

The Raiders have some enviable talent returning. The sophomore class seems to be a particularly strong one for the Raiders.

Clark has classmates, Silas and Moses Sandusky to lean on in the ground game. Jamison Isley (QB, ’28) returns to trigger the attack. David Poe, another of the sophomores, is a two way guy who has proven productive in multiple phases.

Sophomores (rising Juniors) like these make the Raiders, heading into a new season, appear formidable. Look for the Raiders to be a much better ball club in 2026.
