This is one of Kentucky’s very finest RBs in the ’25 graduating class. They call him “Jaws,” and he is a 3-star, nationally rated prospect in Rivals and 247Sports. He’s one more thing too, he is the Protein-packed Performer of the Week. Enjoy this feature and and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor of the country’s very finest beef jerky products. Friday Night Fletch.

Carson Clark is a rising sophomore we believe will heavily contribute to the bottom line this coming Fall @CarsonClark08 @CooperFootball @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

Not all future stars got varsity run the year prior. This is even more true of young guys on 5A finalists who were, themselves, freshmen. We have young Carson Clark to feature today. While we can’t really report on anything he did (at the varsity level) in ’23; that doesn’t mean he won’t breakout in ’24. Matter of fact, we wouldn’t bet against him. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

They call him ‘Coen’ @Coen_Taylor2 @FCFlyerFootball @840WHAS @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank

Jacob Taylor is one of two “Taylors” on the Flyers’ roster. The Flyers, under Head Coach, Eddie James, has been among the more stocked and successful rosters at the 4A level of play. Jacob prefers to go by “Coen” and the 5’8,” 165-pounder carries a 4.0-GPA a believes in hear over height. His 45-receptions a year ago indicate his play backs up his hashtags rather well. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Peyton Collins from North Laurel still finding his stride @peyton_collins1 @npcombine @teeroyhowell @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @athletics_nlhs @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @840WHAS

Sometimes a player’s maturation lags behind the player’s frame. This is often true of young bigs who take some time to agile their way into their incredibly large, tall, and long frames. Peyton Collins has a frame which commands respect. With his nearly 7-foot wingspan, 6’7″ of height, and 280-pounds of heft, this guy figures to be among the more recruited linemen in the ’26 graduating class before all is said and done. We are looking for his PT to increase substantially this coming Fall. When his “man muscles and agility” arrives, look out! Friday Night Fletch.

Lincoln Acree is listed as an ATH on many national sites which feature recruiting. Man is he ever an athlete. Acree is a ’25 guy who can play WR or Corner at the college level. He can play at any division collegiately too. He has been featured and has before won the Independence Bank Revolutionary Player so, in winning this award today, he has been awarded the KPGFootball “hat trick.” Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor.

Middle School Spotlight: Jett Reynolds from Bowling Green among the best athletes, KY-wide, in the 2029 class @Jett_Reynolds3 @PurplesFootball @CoachNacarius @minguabeefjerky @840WHAS @1776Bank

There have been famous “Jet(t)s” in popular culture. There are two Bennies among the number. Elton Johns’ Bennie and the Jets and the fictional character from “The Sandlot,” Benjamin Franklin “Benny the Jet” Rodriquez. Well we have added to the list with Jett Reynolds from Bowling Green Jr. High. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Middle School Spotlight: Jaxon Wells setting the pace for the 2029s @JaxonWellsfb @NorthPulaskiFB @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS

May 27, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Jaxon Wells is a rising 8th-grader with an uncommonly large frame. He is freakishly strong, freakishly powerful, and freakishly explosive. He is also freakishly good at football. He will be among the most talked about 8th graders in the commonwealth this next Fall as his middle school program battles and contends for its 10th title at that level of play. Enjoy this middle school spotlight on the best two-way lineman se have to offer. Friday Night Fletch.

Storm Warning: How fast does KJ Hayes hit the field for the Storm? @HopkinsCentral @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @MaxPreps @1776Bank @_CoachManning

May 23, 2024 Fletcher Long 1

It is getting time for the now former 8th graders to report to their varsity teams. The Storm, when opening camp, will certainly have some prime timers joining them from middle school looking for PT. KJ Hayes will be one of them. As the reigning KYMSFA, Region I, Division I, Player of the Year, it wouldn’t surprise many to see this kid in the lineup early in his HS career. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.

Jacob Savage, 2026 LB/RB/ATH from Ryle High School, is the @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the week @Ryle_Football @jacobsavage2125 @1776Bank @840WHAS @KyHighFootball

May 22, 2024 Fletcher Long 0

Jacob Savage is one of a bevy of superstar LB’s in the ’26 class around Kentucky. Savage is so much more than just a LBer as he is among the top RBs on his team and receivers too. In an offseason where we have focused on versatility, this Savage cat is just right in line with the type talent on whom we have been focusing this offseason. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to #SavorTheFlavor. Friday Night Fletch.

Bullitt Central High getting a kick (or punt) out of Peyton Hester @BullittFootball @thepeytonhester @Phase3Kicking @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @840WHAS @KohlsHighlights @KohlsKicking

“He’s just a punter!” That sentiment will get you beat in a football game. It will literally cost you a championship one day, we promise. Football is a three (3) phase game and each of the three phases are critical and have to superlatively executed for any team to function at a high level. There have been three punters taken in the first round of the NFL draft. Ray Guy became the first punter ever selected in the first round of a National Football League draft when the Oakland Raiders tapped him as the 23rd player chosen in 1973. Punters are important. This one we are featuring here may be the best punter in his class (’27) across the commonwealth of Kentucky. Enjoy the feature. Friday Night Fletch.
