’27 ATH is a likely QB next level but can literally play anywhere

Okay, this is a Tennessee kid. We know you’re thinking, “Why is he getting featured in a digital magazine which covers Kentucky HS football?” This is where we point out “Big Ass Fans” is an international company with business interests and connections spanning the globe. Regardless, we have (from time to time) step outside the confines of Kentucky to cover HS kids getting heavily recruited by Kentucky colleges. That is the case here. There are many, prestigious, small-school football programs thriving in the commonwealth of Kentucky and they seem to all be courting Nolan Dacus and with ample reason. Enjoy this look at a kid lighting it up in Tennessee quarterbacking a team alive and well in Tennessee’s present playoff structure sporting a 10-1 mark entering the TSSAA’s next round tonight.

Big Ass Fans from Lexington, Kentucky has a simple corporate goal. The company is “creating a more comfortable world,” one fan at a time.

The logo is the rear of a donkey (Fanny) swishing its tail back and forth. The trademarked logo is among Kentucky’s more celebrated and well known corporate identities across the commonwealth and has come to represent commitment to quality, cutting-edge innovation, and product reliability.

This week our feature is about Harley Gough from Lousiville, KY’s Seneca High School. Gough is a 5’10,” 180-pound speedy and explosive, multi-phase guy who can play anywhere from the Nickel to Linebacker on defense, and RB to Slot on offense and contributes to the third phase on both coverage and return units. Gough’s excellent training together with his undeniable talent, mobility, speed, savvy, frame, and athleticism make him an attraction hard to overlook on any roster. 

Big Ass Fans is so much more than just a gigantic fan. It is gigantic quality, gigantic performance, and a gigantic commitment to reliability and innovation. Its size is far from the only selling point about our product. Our product is a Kentucky Comfort Creator. These days, isn’t that exactly what Kentucky needs?

Fanny is among the better known, better recognized, and more celebrated corporate logos in the world

From Sweetwater, TN to All-points Kentucky: The starting quarterback for Sweetwater High School (TN) is Nolan Dacus (Senior, #14). Dacus is on recruiting boards across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Dacus has a huge upside, a huge skill set, and can continue (next level) to play QB across our great Commonwealth. In addition, Dacus has the skills and athletic prowess to be slotted virtually all over the field and in multiple phases, making him a vital piece to any college program’s recruiting puzzle.

Dacus is 6’2,” 205-pounds who is an Eagle Scout, a 4.3-GPA student, and an accomplished multi-sport athlete earning varsity letters and stardom in a variety of different sports. A QB’s top job is to “win games.” Entering tonight’s round of playoff games in Tennessee, Sweetwater is 10-1 and definitely doing just that.

So far this season, while doubling as a DB, Dacus has accounted for 20-total TDs (by our count). Dacus was 15-15 on the night in the first round against Pigeon Forge. Dacus led Sweetwater to a 45–14 pasting with No. 3 ranked Forrest ready to take its chance in the TSSAA, Class 3A’s second round.

Dacus plays in an offensive attack heavily centered around a balanced/ground attack. It has been led this season by senior RB, Ty Fitch. Those facts aside, Dacus has been at the controls, Dacus has earned the trust of his coaches, teammates, and fans.

Sweetwater is a proud and winning tradition. That is why the road trip to Forrest tonight is far from a foregone conclusion. Hey, if two teams entered between the lines either of them can win the football game. This is particularly true where one of the teams has Nolan Dacus at the offensive controls.
