South Oldham’s Silas Kennedy shooting up the list of 2028 linemen @silaskennedy33, @CainSams, @SOHighFootball, @SOHSDragons, @CoachBMeredith, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

One of the things we notice first about a young big, like Silas Kennedy (6’4,” 275-pounds, ’28) are his feet. This kid has excellent feet and sink to go along with find height and good length. Kids with his frame are generally Division I, FBS football recruits. With his 4.25-GPA, he is a “take” at many, many levels and different leagues including a league called “The Ivy” or “The Ancient 8.” We don’t know where this kid will end up but we do expect him to populate the first string in ’26 and (potentially) on both sides of the scrimmage line (OT/DE). That defensive deployment should tell you all you need to know about his movement and quicks. This is a large, tall, long, explosive, “twitchy” kid who is a delight to know and the kind of kid you want on your roster. Enjoy the feature.

Ariyon Stills-Carter, also known as The Bear, should have a big season upcoming @BearCarter42, @CoachDerekDay, @EKUWWells, @CoachBakerNH, @eCampusdotcom, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Not a lot of athletes around the KHSAA so sufficiently athletic to warrant the nickname, “The Bear.” Here are some facts about bears you might not know. According to Google, “Bears are exceptionally athletic and powerful, capable of running up to 35 mph (56 km/h), even on uneven terrain. They possess immense strength, with specialized muscles for digging, climbing, and swimming. Despite their bulk, they are surprisingly agile, quick to accelerate, and can maintain high speeds over long distances.” All of this sounds eerily like Ariyon Stills-Carter, who (not so coincidentally) is nicknamed “The Bear.” Our Bear is 6’0,” has been listed as high as 230-pounds, and can play both MLB and RB. We think this coming season for North Hardin may be the year of the Bear. That is our call anyway. Enjoy the feature.

Ethan Cobb from Taylor County is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @Ethan_Cobb946, @TCCardinalsFB, @ScottParkey, @WBH7272, @hudsenc55, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Ethan Cobb has proven himself an exceptional talent among ’28 IOLs across the commonwealth of Kentucky. One could even say Cobb has been keeping it very cool there in the Campbellsville, KY football scene. Cobb was a starter and every down kind of guy for the Cardinals in 2025 and sports a three-plate (315-lbs.) bench press and a 505-pound back squat. At 5’11,” 275-pounds, that makes him extremely hard to dig out of the A-Gap. Coach Harris has come along to take Scott Parkey’s place at the helm and his staff at Taylor County High will be mighty happy, going forward into the ’26 season, to have an offensive center like Cobb. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you in that regard at Big Ass Fans!

Bryce Armstrong from Highlands appears to be the ‘next big thing’ among Bluebird players @BryceArmstrong2, @taydenlorenzen2, @HighlandsFB, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

There aren’t too many ’29 QBs around Kentucky as athletic as Highlands High’s Bryce Armstrong. Armstrong is a 6’1,” 190-pound rising sophomore who had pretty solid numbers a season ago backing up one of the KHSAA’s better senior signal callers. Rio Litmer has moved along to “greener pastures” and Armstrong looks (to us) to be the likely heir apparent at the position for one of the KHSAA’s more storied and successful programs. Fort Thomas is coming off a 10-3 which saw them defeat some right impressive opponents in 2025. Highlands plays a tough schedule ever year which incudes a rivalry game with Covington Catholic which is a “bucket list” type match-up. Enjoy this look at a young phenom headed straight for stardom as early as the ’26 opener.

Miles Hollon, from Breathitt County, has come literally miles in a short time @Qb1miles4, @BreckenHarvey, @cleats2whistle, @wood7walker, @bigassfans, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom

Miles Hollon is a rare commodity among ’28 QBs. While many of them are selling “potential,” he’s selling production. How many QBs throw for close to 4,000 yards with around 50-thrown TDs entering their junior seasons? You can count them on less than a single hand. Hollon’s frame and growth potential are big pluses for him as he is today’s feature and a guy who has won almost every award one can bestow.

Kenyon Cunningham is the Bank of Cadiz & Trust Co. Feature of the Week @KYHighFootball, @MurrayLedger, @CClakerfootball, @teeroyhowell, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

April 20, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is simply among the best multi-phase football talents in the Kentucky-wide, KHSAA football game today at any level and a tremendous prospect in more than just football (basketball). Cunningham came to the Murray High roster when his dad got the job and has become among the commonwealth’s most talented players. Cunningham has done nothing but confirm we were all right about him from the beginning. Cunningham is only going to improve over his sophomore season, particularly on offense where he should get many more opportunities. Cunningham is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him (or any other kid). Enjoy the feature.

Kade is a Good’un… @MLCTitanCoach, @KadeGoodin, @KYHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @PrepRedzoneKY, @Aspirationsgym, @sixstarfootball, @Elite11

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.
