Kade Goodin is a “Good’un.” Okay, that was too easy. Goodin has made several of our “Big Ass Fans'” All State FB teams in the past and has just made our preseason, “Nifty-Nichols” squad published by our good friends at Lasaters Coffee & Tea. Goodin is 6’3, 200-pounds, and the holder of five (5) Division I offers to play football in college. Goodin has consistent mechanics, delivers tight spirals, and exhibits strong accuracy across multiple route concepts. His footwork is clean, Goodin is balanced, and Goodin delivers the ball “on time.” Plus, the kid is athletic, moves well, his team’s leading rusher and has been described as having “high-upside” in the ’27 class. This kid has got it all. Enjoy the feature.

Aiden Blanton fast becoming a force with whom to reckon around the KHSAA @ABlanton03, @CentreFootball, @WJCOLTSFootball, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Not all of the great football players across the commonwealth of Kentucky have the greatest of frames. Aiden Blanton isn’t going to wow anyone with his stand-up size. However, this kid is all ball player and his strength/power numbers are right impressive. Blanton has plenty of speed (4.7-second, 40) and quicks (4.3-second, pro-agility shuttle) and is bouncy (34-inch vertical) to boot. We believe this kid will have a monster year upcoming similar to the hugely productive year he enjoyed in 2025. Enjoy this look at one of the better linebackers in the commonwealth of Kentucky a year ago and a player to be closely monitored in 2026.

Brandon Abren, Jr. is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @OfficialKYMSFA, @kcdathletics, @kcdfootball

March 27, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Brandon Abren, Jr. has announced he will play his HS football for Kentucky Country Day. It is anticipated he will likely be competing for RB-1 reps for the “Bearcats” as early as this Fall. Two former all-staters are walking the graduation stage this Spring leaving a huge hole in that backfield that a stud like Abren could fill. We take a look at the situation and garner a guess about one of the candidates. Abren has the frame, physique, and athletic ability to take a run at the job. Opportunity is knocking, will Abren answer the door? Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard at Big Ass Fans!

Rakale Johnson among the best athletes in 2027’s class in the Derby City/in the Bluegrass @rakalej_32, @CoachWatson9, @FHS_Dawgs_FB, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @coachdov, @bigassfans,

The Fairdale Bulldogs are among the better 5As yearly competing in KHSAA football around Louisville’s “Derby City.” Players and athletes like Rakale Johnson are a large reason why. Johnson is a 6’2,” 210-pounder who can play receiver, TE, RB, and OLB as well as contribute in a meaningful way to the special teams units. This kid has so much utility that he is also a 7.3-pts/7.3-rebounds a game guy in basketball. There are guys who can just do about anything you ask of them and Johnson certainly numbers among their ranks. Enjoy this look at a premier athlete/football player in the KHSAA entering the ’26 season, his senior campaign.

Preston Denton, ’31 BGJHS, setting southern Kentucky a blaze with his talent… @GrahamDenton14, @SOKYElite, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball, @BGJHSFootball

We cut our teeth in this business covering middle school football. We moved up with our first set of middle school stars into covering the high school game and the rest is history, so to speak. When we write about a middle school kid we do it mostly out of a sense of nostalgia, out of a sense of paying homage to our beginnings. These Denton boys can ball. We featured the ’32 prospect, Graham Denton, in March of 2025, Now, a year later, we are featuring the Denton brother going into the 8th-grade at Bowling Green Junior High School (BGJHS). Preston is quite the prospect, like little brother and both of the Dentons spend tons of time sharpening their skills and technique, offseason, with the Southern Kentucky Elite. Enjoy the feature.

Jack Long was medically retired from the active roster in 2025. That doesn’t diminish from a young man who was a heck of a football player over the course of his varsity high school career. Whatever Long’s roll may be going forward, Long will find someway to contribute and his contribution will be meaningful and impactful. That is why he is our Bank of Cadiz, Feature of the Week! Enjoy this look at an extraordinary young man, who accomplished extraordinary type things, both on and off the football field brought to you by our friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Company.
