April 9, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Zachary Philpot from North Laurel has all the characteristics and measurements any college coach would want in an offensive lineman coming out of high school. Philpot is 6’4,” 300-pounds, can bench press 335, squat 485, and deadlift 525. Philpot pops off 40-yard dashes in 5.5-seconds and blows through a “flying 10″ in 1.68. Philpot has 11” hands, a 4.2 GPA, and a registered 26 on his ACT. Translation, Philpot is a very low risk offer if you are a college program looking to add some bulk, strength, power, and explosiveness which will wow your admissions office.

They call him “Quise.” At 6’3,” 330-pounds, with a school record back squat of 605-pounds and a near 300-pound bench press, we will call him whatever he likes. Quise Smith is just another first rate, division I, “power four” type to come out of one of Bowling Green, Kentucky’s and Class 5A’s premier programs. This kid is a monster and had quite the sophomore season. Yessir, you are reading that correctly, he is a ’27. We can’t help but be reminded of ’18’s Jacob Lacey who signed with Notre Dame a few years ago. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow Big Ass Fans to assist you in that regard.

Dalton Maynard plays for one of the better programs in 5A in Kentucky. That is how a program attracts an over 250-game winner and a former TN COY recipient to its head coaching position. Maynard ain’t no slouch either. This guy played in 12-games at the 5A level as a sophomore and looks to be a multi-phase contributor, going forward into 2025. Enjoy this feature on a kid very deserving of some of the world’s finest beef jerky products and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor out there in Berea, KY.

Storm Warning: Colleges finding the way to Morton’s Gap to scout talent. @evans02_mike, @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral, @CountyMustangs

Manning has been doing a fine job developing talent colleges want to recruit and sign. Centre College, who has been red, smoking hot on the trail this offseason, stopped by Morton’s Gap to see a certain player on whom the Colonels have set its sights. We think we know who, but could be wrong. In any event, things are going swimmingly as the recruiting interest would certainly indicate. Enjoy the article and be careful out there; looks like a Storm is brewing!

Mason Trimble from St. Xavier High in Louisville is the Protein-packed Performer of the Week @StXTigersFB, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @CoachKWallace, @bilalpowell29, @noahhouk5, @trimble_mason, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky

St. Xavier’s Tigers have been playing championship level football for many years around the commonwealth’s largest classifications. The Tigers have won 15 KHSAA state football championships across different classifications, with titles in 1962, 1969, 1974, 1975, 1978, 1986, 1992, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2016, 2021, and 2023. What this means is the Tigers are contenders each and every year. We don’t believe ’25 will be materially different and we believe Mason Trimble will be among the many reasons why. Enjoy the world’s very finest in meat jerky products and enjoy reading about this week’s Protein-packed Performer. Don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor!

Logan Smith is a Dude! @Coach_CobyLewis, @LSmith2026, @WickerMike, @milesplit, @CClakerfootball, @CallowaySchools

Logan Smith is a dude. If you haven’t read the book “Football 101: Boo-Boo’s a Quarterback” that may be an empty reference for you. However, the link to buy the book will be at the bottom of the page of this very article, so no reason to stay in the dark. Smith has made the All-WKC three straight years and was Calloway’s Defensive POY a year ago. Smith will be laboring under a new staff in ’25 (Coby Lewis) and we believe that may be a match made in heaven. Enjoy the feature.

Carson Powers, from Ohio County, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator this Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @ohiocofootball, @OCEagleFootball

March 21, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Ohio County struggled through an 0-11 campaign in 2024. That doesn’t mean the Eagles won’t be significantly improved in 2025. Matter of fact, we believe the prospects for the Ohio County Eagles are considerably rosier than this time a year ago. One bright spot was the play of Carson Powers and he returns. Enjoy this feature about a kid whose performance made the unbearable heat a tad more bearable and who hopes his performance brings comfort to the home fans around Hartford, KY over his senior year. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

Storm Warning, JaCoveion Bussell from Browning Springs Middle looks poised to compete for early PT @evans02_mike, @Meloishim3, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral, @CBussell84610

JaCoveion Bussell is a kid of many skills and talents. He is a 20-point a game scorer on the MS basketball team. He is the reigning 8th-grade, D-2, KYMSFA Regional POY in football. Did we mention he is a 3.6-GPA guy? Don’t want to omit that. Bussell is zoned to attend Central and we are hoping that holds. Either way, he appears poised to challenge for early PT in high school on Friday Nights. Let’s pray there are a few Storm clouds in his future.

JoaQuinn Drake from Butler Traditional is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @JoaQuinn15Drake, @_ButlerFootball, @bigassfans,

March 19, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

JoaQuinn Drake from Butler Traditional is our Mingua Beef Jerky Protein-packed Performer. He had 32-tackles, broke up 15-passing attempts, had a pair of tackles for loss, and didn’t allow a single TD in 178 pass coverage snaps. That is quite remarkable on a team which finished 2-9 and toward the bottom of the Kentucky RPI for 5A programs. Sometimes it is the guys who perform in spite of the performances around them who really astonish us. This guy here is a player colleges in the area should really study. You know, good corners are hard to find. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to pick up some world famous jerky products from Mingua Beef Jerky and “SavorTheFlavor.”

Big Ass Fans salutes long time coach and educator, Dixie Jones, from Trigg County High as its Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @TriggFootball, @TriggCoAD

March 13, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Today we wish to recognize and true fixture in the world of KHSAA football. This guy has 27-years experience at the helm of programs at Trigg County, Hopkinsville, and Madisonville North-Hopkins and infinitely more experience as an assistant coach throughout the commonwealth. Also noteworthy is his being the greatest of all time in the world of Kentucky high school powerlifting, which is one heck of a fun cover, by the way. Enjoy this feature about a true Kentucky icon and remember, with Big Ass Fans, let’s keep it comfortable out there Kentucky!
