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, Class of ’22, QB, Brady Clark from Bardstown, Kentucky’s Bardstown High School, wouldn’t it? 

Brady Clark is a guy who has reclassified into the ’22 class. Like Cameron Hergott before him, we believe this will pay big dividends for the star quarterback.

Clark had a sensationally effective campaign in the pandemic shortened ’20 season. He led this team to a 7-2 finish and a narrow defeat to E-Town, a 2020, Class 3A finalist. We believe Bardstown gets by that game this year.

Clark is a 6-4, 205-pound QB framed out just like the big schools love ’em. In ’20 he threw for 1,396-yards and 26-TDs against only 4-interceptions. We don’t know of any coach around who wouldn’t be thrilled with a drop-back passer sporting a 6.5:1, TD/INT ratio.

Was he accurate? Well, his completion percentage was close to 61% (.60839161). We would call that accurate, what do you say?

For a drop-back, pro-style guy, Clark also demonstrated he could effectively use his mobility to avoid a pass-rush. Clark gained 219-yards in ’20 on 41-carries with a ground score.

Here’s some other statistics about Brady Clark we simply love. How about his 4.0 GPA and 22 ACT? With scores like that, he has left himself a tremendously wide swath of available options next level.

We know Clark has camped this summer at Morehead and at EKU. He looks to us to be a solid FCS, D-1 level player who could literally end up in the FBS too. With his academic work, one could see an Ivy-League, Ivy-Index scenario for the young man.

Point is, he has done the work both on and off the field. At Mingua Beef Jerky and KPGFootball, we just love prospects like Brady Clark. College football programs do too.

With everything this young athlete has going for him, we thought he could use some nourishment and maybe a sweet T-shirt! For the T-Shirt and the bolt of protein, we asked our friends at Mingua Beef Jerky to send him some and they were thrilled to oblige.

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 Bardstown’s Brady Clark.

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