Class of 2023 Christian Conyers, Bowling Green, KY

We believe this particular prospect will end up being the top rated player in Kentucky’s ’23 class. He is a definite Power-Five (5) guy!

We have been celebrating the Kentucky Future Stars selections for coming on two weeks by featuring many of the players announced to the respective rosters. Not every great player in the classes of 2023, 24, or 25 are playing in the Kentucky-Tennessee Future Stars Classic this June.

It isn’t that some of these players tried out and weren’t selected. Some of them (for whatever reason) didn’t try out. There were some glaring omissions.

As sort of an example of this neither of the Sayers twins, Peyton nor Mason, are on the 8th grade roster. There is no way they tried out and didn’t get selected. Do you really believe two 6-0, 285-290-pounders both of whom deadlift and squat between 450 and 500 pounds while still 8th graders weren’t selected? So we passed over two FBU Top Guns? Yeah, as if.

KPGFootball is confident there aren’t a better pair of interior OL guys in the commonwealth’s 2023 class than those two. Another example of this is the subject of this article. Christian Conyers, who we call C-Squared around the magazine.

C-Squared is a 5-11, 155-pound athlete who can play anything from WR to Safety to RB. He played his middle school football at Bowling Green Junior High School (BGJHS).

Can he really play RB? Well the Class of 2023 phenom with the 4.38-second short shuttle, gained 1,252 yards on 127 carries with 12 rushing TDs as an 8th grader in 2018. While playing for the BGJHS, Conyers gained a combined 3,098 yards and scored 48 TDs over the three-year period.

C-Squared didn’t hurt for accolades either. He was selected a 3X Offense-Defense All American, played on Team Kentucky’s FBU Elite team in 2017, and played for Team Kentucky’s Future Stars team in 2018. Also in 2018, Conyers played in the KYMSFA’s East vs. West game taking home the Offensive MVP.

In the end, we don’t know why the Sayers twins aren’t playing this summer. We equally don’t know why C-Squared elected to take a pass. We do know all three of the players are among the very best football players we have in Kentucky’s Class of 2023. We know all three will make immediate and impactful contributions to their respective High School teams from the day the teams open camp.

It certainly didn’t take any football genius to know any of these things either. That’s a very good thing. KPGFootball is running as short of football genius as Team Kentucky is running short of players with surnames like “Conyers” or “Sayers.”

You readers may not have access to any genius; however, what you do have is old Coach Lyons hanging around dishing out to you the insider’s knowledge. What this magazine dispenses may not always be what you want; but, sometimes, you have to make do with what you have. The same is true for Team Kentucky, wouldn’t you agree?
