’26 G/T is living one heck of a Bugg’s Life!

"Princess Atta: You see Hopper, Nature has a certain order. The ants pick the food, the ants keep the food, and the grasshoppers leave!"
A Bug's Life, 1998

’26 G/T has a D1 frame & grades the NCAA Clearinghouse will love

I believe if you were to ask a college coach what size they would like their offensive linemen to be many of them would respond with dimensions eerily similar to the dimensions of Carson Bugg from Woodford County. Carson is 6’6,” weighs 290-pounds and even carries a 3.3-GPA. Colleges can teach you how to play football. Colleges can’t add length or height to a finished anatomical work. Enjoy this look at a kid who will be in strong contention for the All-State football team at year’s end.

Mingua 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.     

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.     

Our recipes and our quality ingredients, hand-cut from solid pieces of beef, are never chopped or formed like other brands, making our products superior and one of a kind. That would make our products similar to this week’s Protein-packed Performer, Carson Bugg, ’26 OL from Woodford County High School in Versailles, Kentucky. 

Versailles, KY: There was a Pixar Animated Disney movie entitled “A Bug’s Life.” It was about a colony of ants led by an elderly queen and her daughter, Princess Atta.

The bugs go on various adventures centered around having to find enough food to give to a band of grasshoppers who terrorize the colony. It is a fun film with a lot going on and has nothing to do with our feature other than Carson Bugg shares a similar name to the film albeit with an extra “g.”

Still the “Buggs” with the two, as opposed to one “g,” still live a fortuitous life. You see, as Princess Atta above set forth, “Nature” does have a certain order and the 6’6,” 290-pounders with 3.3-GPAs often find themselves playing Division I college football as opposed to college ball at another level.

It is just how it goes. One might say it is the “Nature” of things.

Now nature doesn’t bless all of us equally. There are tons and tons of high school players who wish they had the frame and even the grades Carson Bugg has.

Call it what it is. Carson Bugg has a huge frame with tons of length. Division I college coaches love edge protectors with tons of wingspan.

Those same coaches particularly love the linemen with long arms also able to move their feet and sink their hips. After all these guys, the guys like Bugg, need the ability to intercept the speedy edge guys bending upfield and around the corner in a frenzied pass rush. The long arms enable a player, like Bugg, to get a well timed punch into the chest of an outside speed rusher blessed with RB speed.

It is the “way of things.” It is the “nature of the game,” if you will.

This Bugg, the one from Versailles, Kentucky, is one member of the species with no intention of getting flattened. Bugg is entering his senior year one of the commonwealth’s very best. Bugg is also among the very brightest while toiling for one of the better programs the commonwealth fields.

Bugg has been getting tons of action on the recruiting trail. He already has several Division I offers.

Bugg’s is a star which only figures to burn ever brighter as his senior year progresses. With apologies to Pixar and Disney, it isn’t always tough to be a bug, at least not a “Bugg.”

Join us next week as we return to honor another weekly prize winner. Until then, pop some Mingua Beef Jerky in your mouth and savor the quality and flavor which sets it apart from the competition. Remember, our product is superior and one of a kind; just like Woodford County’s Carson Bugg.
