Cam Jordan, Trigg County, Class of 2020, rising to the top…We called it first!

There’s nothing worse than some so and so telling you, “I told you so.” While we know it is annoying, you would have to forgive my learned colleague, Fletcher Long, for doing a bit of crowing. He’s not crowing as loudly as Trigg County’s Colby Lewis, but we are sure it is pretty competitive.

In the past week, Cam Jordan has picked up two FBS-offers, one from the Naval Academy and the other from West Point. Every outlet from his Sevens team to his little league coach is bellying up to the bar to take some credit. Why should KPGFootball be any different?

Naturally, the entire credit belongs to Cam Jordan. He’s the one who’s hard work and dedication have put him in position to get the notice his efforts deserve. Some credit should be apportioned to the coaching staff and academic faculty at Trigg County High School which have both guided him along his path. You know success has many fathers; while failure is an orphan.

KPGFootball isn’t giving credit to Fletcher Long for developing Cam’s football talent. He has contributed nothing to that, as far as we know. We will give Long credit for noticing and writing about this prospect way before anyone else other than a publication known as Youth1.com which published a brief blurb about him trying-out and then making Team Kentucky Future Stars in 8th grade. Let’s take a trip down memory lane.

The date was September 12, 2017. The article, written by Long was entitled, Cameron Jordan, Class of 2020, Trigg County’s Scintillating Sophomore. Yeah, Long has a penchant for polysyllabicism.

Now Scintillating has among its definitions, brilliantly and excitingly clever or skillful. That is how Long fond Jordan’s play. Long believed way back in September of the kid’s sophomore season that his play was both brilliant and excitingly skillful.

It has been the magazine’s experience with Fletcher Long that he rarely makes haphazard decisions concerning the words he uses to describe the players he features. We don’t believe he did in this case either. Matter of fact, we believe both Navy and the West Point Military Academy would agree thats Jordan’s play has been scintillating, brilliant, clever, and skillful. That is why both have offered him full-scholarships to play football, though he’s only entering his senior year in 2019.

Anyway, in the article, linked here, Long wrote of Jordan the following…[W]e at Kentucky Prep Gridiron believe Cameron Jordan is a sure fire FCS, Division I, Saturday player and, if properly publicized, even a FBS Saturday player down the road. For being written over a year and a half ago, that is an Edgar Cayce worthy bit of sport’s prognosis.

We wish to engage in some more soothsaying today at KPGFootball. These aren’t hard calls to make, in fact, these forecasts are rather elementary.

Cam Jordan’s efforts will continue to be both widely noticed and applauded. There will be many more “Fathers” who will suddenly appear and want credit for “finding” this particular prospect. Jordan will shoot up the varied “2020 prospects lists” for Kentucky prospects. His ascent up the ranks truthfully began two seconds after Navy offered. Finally, Jordan will continue to collect FBS-level offers to play football.

When all the “others” get to the table, remember this…our prediction from September of 2017 was both date-stamped and published. Ask the others, when they arrive, to show you theirs.
