We are in the Dead Period and decided to look back on a kid we publicized and helped win “Mr. Football” back in the day. This article was written back in 2018, after he attended our Mountain All-State combine and had come off a freshman season where he made our Freshman All-State Football Team. We were on this cat early. He turned into everything we could have ever hoped he would be and won Mr. Football his senior year after leading Coach Haywood, and his Belfry team, to. Haywood’s eighth (8th) KHSAA title. Enjoy this look back at one of our all-time favorite players who starred at one of our favorite programs for one of our all-time favorite coaches. No one saw the importance of what we provide and believed in our product more than Coach Haywood. God do we miss him!

There will be those who will tell you the newly consolidated “Tigers,” from Christian County High, will go as far next season as players like Tremayne Clay can lead them. Clay is a talent and one of five (5) former Hoptown Tigers to make the Big Ass Fans’s Large School, All-State Football Team. The newly consolidated school shouldn’t hurt for talent and the Tigers are amassing an array of coaching talent to “put the team through its paces” in its upcoming inaugural season. Regardless, Clay will be critical. Good thing he is also extremely talented. Enjoy this look at one of Hopkinsville, Kentucky more talented prep-level athletes brought to you by your friends and neighbors at the Bank of Cadiz.

William Long exited like he entered; a winner and the “flashback,” Bank of Cadiz Feature of the Week @CentreFootball, @williammlong, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

William Long was featured many times on this forum which was partly created to publicize and support his efforts in the game of football from his middle school days forward. He never asked to be covered and, truthfully, William would have much preferred we not written about him. It has been a somewhat constant source of discord between us, truthfully. The problem has always been that William just kept accomplishing incredible things worthy of the “ink.” On his last official day as a football player, William did it a final time. Enjoy this feature about an athlete who made it a common, everyday, experience to bedazzle and bewilder us with the many accomplishments attributed to him through his many years as a football player.

Traditional ‘Dead Period’ Article, Just So You Know… @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans

June 27, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We are in the midst of a period commonly referenced as Summer Dead Period. The actual period is described and specifically set forth in the Bylaws of The Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Bylaw 24, § 3, under Summer Dead Period, sets forth partially and particularly, as it pertains to subscribers of Kentucky Prep Gridiron, the following…Students […]

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!

JT Judd from Rowan County is a stud! @VikeN8ionRC, @CoachElfers, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @eCampusdotcom

June 20, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

There are good players on literally every roster no matter. how much that particular roster struggles. We have shown you, the reader, countless examples of this. Coach Kelly Ford’s Vikings aren’t getting a ton of ink these days. One and nine seasons will to that to any program. Still, the Vikings return most of its production from a year ago and JT Judd is a multi-phase, multi-sport stud. Last year, Judd was the ball club’s leading INT guy, leading fumbles recovery specialist, leading rusher, receiver, and scorer. That is leading the ball club in several crucial statistical categories. Heading into ’26, this is a kid who could end up on some all-state teams, like our’s (Big Ass Fans, Large School) for instance. Play hard, young man; we will be watching.

Griffin Benke from Highlands looking to help get the Bluebirds back where they belong… @Benke_Griffin, @HighlandsFB, @HSphire, @bigassfans, @LasatersCoffee, @eCampusdotcom

June 13, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

We scour the commonwealth of Kentucky looking for playing talent on whom to report. We don’t always find the 6’6,” 235-pound DEs and Long Snappers, but we found this one. Griffin Benke has to be among the more imposing players across Northern Kentucky playing the high school game today. He plays for one of Kentucky’s more storied programs. Benke runs the 40 in 4.82-seconds, shuttles in 4.7, has a 30-inch vertical, presses 310-pounds, reps the high school rep weight (185-pounds) 28-times, squats 400, and power cleans 245. This kid is being courted by a ton of D-1s from FCS through the Power 4s. First he has to get the Bluebirds back where that program belongs, in the championship winner’s circle. Enjoy the feature.

Frederick Douglass pumps out the prospects! Bates is certainly one. @PrestonBates_99, @coachnatemcpeek, @CoachJeffPoe, @FDouglassFB, @khsaafootball, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans

There isn’t a program in all of Kentucky which pumps out more college prospects than Frederick Douglass High in Lexington, KY. These guys do a first rate job of developing talent. These guys do a first rate job of promoting talent. Coach Nathan McPeek is cementing himself among KHSAA football coaches as an elite practitioner. Preston Bates is a two-sport, varsity performer who plays defensive line for the Broncos. Bates has the feet, length, wind, and explosive twitchiness to thrive along a defensive front. Bates is listed as a ’28 kid but the roster from a season ago lists him as a “junior.” We will defer to the school’s recruiting site and call him a ’28, which makes him a rising junior and not a rising senior. Regardless, the 6’3,” 270-pound, multi-sport athlete should be a terror this coming season.
