Three transfers from 6A promise to make the Tiger attack more lethal
A triumvirate of transfer downs from 6A have been determined eligible for play and the Tigers from Caldwell couldn’t be happier. Bryson “Cowboy” Ford was an All-State linebacker for the 6A Christian County Colonels in its last year of play and both Kam “Ox” Wells and Ty “Jet” Palmer were prominent contributors, though only freshmen a season ago. The three will find a returning team from a year ago which won six games and has quite a few weapons returning. Kameron Wilson (’27) led critical statistical categories from rushing, to receiving, to scoring and even some defensive statistics like forcing four (4) fumbles and recovering three (3) while registering 80-tackles, 14-TFLs, and a pair of sacks. Wilson is coming off knee injury but is back at practice and looking eerily like “Kameron Wilson.” Any way you cut it, look out first district, even you “Mighty Mayfield” as this may be the best Caldwell team we have seen since the late David Barnes stormed the sideline.

This week our feature is about three players who have transferred to Caldwell County and are slated to get a ton of play. Bryson Cowboy Ford, Kam Ox Wells, and Ty Jet Palmer all regularly played for 6A Christian County (Colonels) a year ago and have moved their games to Princeton, KY.
Ox is the strongest Tiger on the roster. Cowboy is among the strongest and is sporting a 400-pound squat to go along with tremendous speed, burst, explosion, and ball skills. Jet, well he isn’t call Jet for nothing.
Aaron Mcclung is thrilled to get to benefit from the collective skills of three first-team players one of which made last year’s Big Ass Fans Large School All-State football team.

Princeton, KY: There have been a long line of excellent coaches on the sideline in Princeton, KY leading the fortunes of Caldwell County’s Tigers. From Fred Clayton who titled there and won 117-games (1963), to Pat Gates who also titled there (1998) and also won 117-games, to the late David Barnes who compiled a record of 110–50 in 13 seasons as the head football coach and took the team to the 2012 title game to come away on the short end of a 30-26 loss to Newport Central Catholic.
The point being…they know a little something about winning football games and championships in Princeton, KY. That is why you will have to excuse Aaron Mcclung if he is stepping a bit livelier entering the ’26 season. You see, Mcclung has a talent laden, experienced ball club returning replete with a Mr. Football-caliber talent in Kameron Wilson, and he knows it.
In addition, Mcclung hit the jackpot with three young phenoms moving into the school district. It isn’t everyday a 2A district contender picks up three (3) starters from off a now defunct (owing to consolidation) 6A roster.
With luck like that, we need to take the old ball coach with us to the gaming tables. We’re only kidding.
The headliner of the three is Bryson “Cowboy” Ford at linebacker, doubling at TE. Last year, on a team roster which seemed in chaos for much of the year, the play of the Cowboy must have appeared to be quite the bright spot for the beleaguered coaching staff.
Ford has an enviable frame with plenty of length, height, and room for “good weight.” Ford registered 74-tackles, with seven (7) TFLs, and a fumble recovery on the year.
Ford also doubled up at TE, mostly blocking for the Colonel run-game. Kam Ox Wells would know all about that blocking thing.
Ox is a dynamo power-lifter who started at guard for the 6A Colonels in ’25. Wells played a little defense and was a contributor there. It is expected Wells will draw double duty again in ’26 as a sophomore.
Ty Jet Palmer played in all the Colonel’s games a year ago too and proved himself among the roster’s fastest players though only a freshman. Palmer is Caldwell’s fastest player and figures to contribute in the jet sweep, catching the ball over the top, defensively in the deep third, and likely in the return game on special teams.
Caldwell will be right formidable this coming season with experience and game savvy performers littering the play rotation. This should go a long way toward the team’s being right formidable overall.
These three additions to an already well stocked roster provides Coach Mcclung with versatile pieces of football weaponry. We know these three prospects can contribute mightily to ’26’s bottom-line and in multiple phases.
You know we love that.
