This former Kentucky Future Star has lived every bit up to the billing he had coming out of the middle school ranks. He is Kentucky’s top rated player and has committed to play collegiately with the Cardinals in Louisville, Kentucky, just 45 or so minutes from his hometown. HIs 4.0 GPA is something to celebrate too. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to get by a local dispensary and buy yourself some of the country’s finest in all-beef, jerky products.

This young man got a ton of run with the Varsity in a season which would crown the Chargers the Kings of 6A by year’s end. He is a ’25 and likely a guard or center going forward. His time is fast approaching, how will he answer the call to stardom? Well, he’s doing the things offseason one would like to see. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Talk about versatile. This guy a run with it, catch it (on either side of the scrimmage line), and is a real threat on special teams as a returner. He’s a standout on the diamond as well as the gridiron and that 3.8 GPA is looking right stellar as well. Enjoy this feature about one of Warren East’s finest. FL.

This guy is a ’23. Yeah, I know this time of year we should be focusing on ’24’s and later. However, we badly missed on covering this guy when he was still a high schooler and he is going to play collegiately for Coach Luttrell at Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky and they are a team we cover. So anyway, here is the Revolutionary Player of the Week. FL.

Jack Long has had an incredible offseason. He has flourished in the weight room particularly at Power lifting meets where his incredible strength visa vie his size has astounded onlookers at every turn. We think this ’27 prospect is going to have a tremendous high school career and there is literally no telling how his frame finishes. Enjoy the feature.

This guy is a subscriber to the 3-F’s…Faith, Family, and Football. With his frame and the way he plays football, we would expect this ’24 C/LS to get to play plenty more football at whatever level he should choose. He has plenty of schools on him already and, with his […]

Say Hay, Ben Fay! Connor High has a class leader among the rising seniors @Ben_Fay24 @minguabeefjerky @TPRecruitingBB @1776Bank @RedHawksRecruit @HopkinCentral @CoachMaccc @evans02_mike @HawaiiTikiBowl @_CoachManning @PrepSpin @MaxPreps @KyHighFootball

Fay is a kid who plays football and basketball, but correctly, realizes his more definitive future in athletics is on the grid iron as opposed to the hardwood. This is a hard thing to argue to any Kentucky kid. Fay has a long, tall frame and has exhibited fine production on the field under the lights. He has some impressive courters presently with more circling. Enjoy the feature. FL.

His name is William Carrico. His nickname is Tutt. We don’t know from where Tutt came but are sure it is one whale of a story. Regardless, Tutt is the King of the Aces’ and quite the baller for a program among the very elite football programs on the western end of Kentucky at any level of competition. Enjoy the feature. FL.
