The great thing about high school football stars is often they are the guy who grew up down the street, went to church with us, and even look like us. The college guys are often inhuman, but the high school guys are “Regular Joes.” They are the boy next door. They are what is best about us if you really think about it. Aden Bolden is among the very best football players in Kentucky. He had a tremendous junior season, make the Big Ass Fan’s All-State, Small School, Football Team, and is now our Protein-packed Performer of the Week. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Aiden Jesse is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @CoachAtchley @ColonelFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

January 22, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Aiden Jesse is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly for a team which has struggled as mightily as have the Colonels. Jesse is also impressing the right people as recruiting interest in him is heightening. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with a college program, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered that prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Baron Hardesty is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly in the weight room. He is also impressing all the right people. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with an FBS level team, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered the prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Uziel Mungia from Hancock County is our first Protein-packed Performer of the New Year (2025)! @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

The third phase of football is often overlooked. I was watching the BYU/Colorado bowl game last week and BYU rode a third phase clinic to a 20-0 halftime lead and an eventual victory over a favored foe. The third phase can do that for you. Ask Coach Eubanks at Hancock County. He got himself a tremendous placekicker (’28) who will be around for years to come to swing outcomes his way. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Brady Atwell is firmly in the hunt for Kentucky’s “Mr. Football.” His uncle won the distinction in 1999 and playing at a level (Class A) which hasn’t boaster too many winners. Brady has a tough road to haul with Beechwood coming to Lexington seeking the same distinction as the Catholic club.

Austin Sperry from Breathitt High is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @AustinSperry, @BreathittFB

November 13, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Austin Sperry is a human highlight reel on the basketball court. He’s pretty dad-burn good at football too. He has been averaging over 30-yards a reception this season, and we are taking about a pretty good sample size (20-receptions, 7 for TDs). Enjoy this feature and remember to both stop and smell the roses and #SavorTheFlavor.
