@_reecejr (Reece Jesse Jr., Hopkinsville High) soon to be playing for @UofLFootball is the @Minguabeefjerky “Protein-packed Performer of the Week.” @KyHighFootball @1776Bank @HoptownFootball

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. 

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. 

Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, and never chopped or formed like other brands, make our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein Packed Performer of the Week, Reece Jesse, Jr. (2021) from Hopkinsville, Kentucky’s Hoptown High School, wouldn’t it? 

Reece Jesse, Jr., Louisville-bound

Reece Jesse, Jr. is listed around 6-3, 200-pounds but assets we regularly consult around the Christian County area tell us Jesse is closer to 6-4 with a wing-span around 79 to 80-inches. He is a 3-star ranked national recruit with both major services, Rivals and 247Sports.com, and has been consistently ranked among the top-10 overall prospects in Kentucky’s ’21 class.

He has made numerous All-State teams. He projects to make a few more yet to publish.

Jesse’s decision to join the Cardinal’s program reverberated all over the commonwealth. He had numerous D-1 offers which would have taken him too far away from his family for his liking. So he elected to play in easy driving distance to his home and in a city where he has many family members and friends to check in on him.

Jesse is an excellent student who will qualify for tons of financial support in his effort to play at Louisville. As a senior, Jesse caught 36-passes for 745-yards and seven (7)-touchdowns in 10-games for the Tigers. Jesse, in a full season prior to the COVID-19 global health crisis, had a tremendous year in 2019. Jesse caught 67-passes for 1,184-yards with 15-TDs while a junior.

Over the course of his career, where he leaves the Tigers’ program the leader in numerous key statistical categories at the receiver position, Jesse caught 118-receptions for 2,411-yards receiving with 24-TD receptions. What is striking is his averaging 20.4-yards per reception over his career. He also took one out of every 4.92-passes caught to pay-dirt.

He has had a remarkable career. His career, like so many other seniors can claim, would have been even more astounding had he not suffered through a pandemic robbing him of an important camp/combine/Seven’s circuit between his junior and senior years and quite a bit of senior production.

Good luck to one of the finest at his position we were ever privileged to watch play the high school game in Kentucky. All of your friends at Mingua Beef Jerky will be cheering for you.

Join us next week as we honor another worthy player. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from all the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind, just like Hoptown’s Reece Jesse, Jr.

This is HB Lyon reporting for Kentucky Prep Gridiron reminding you that WE’RE JUST CALLING IT LIKE WE SEE IT!
