Colin Daniels, ’26 QB from North Oldham High is the Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @ColinHd2007, @NOHSFball, @eCampusdotcom, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball

Colin Daniels, 6’5,” 215-pound QB from North Oldham (4A, 8-1), will face Atherton tonight

To say Colin Daniels, the 6’5,” 215-pound QB for North Oldham is having a whale of a senior season is a bit of an understatement. Daniels has thrown 37-TD passes, been picked off twice, has passed for 2,124-yards and has struck the opponent for at least three (3) TDs in eight (8) straight games. Daniels leads the KHSAA with 40-combined TDs throwing and rushing, has thrown 67-TD passes since 2024, and enjoys a completion percentage of nearly 69%. How many high school QBs can boast of similar numbers? Most importantly, his team enters tonight’s game against 5A Atherton (8-1) with a six-point loss to Oldham County it only blemish on the season.

Big Ass Fans from Lexington, Kentucky has a simple corporate goal. The company is “creating a more comfortable world,” one fan at a time.

The logo is the rear of a donkey (Fanny) swishing its tail back and forth. The trademarked logo is among Kentucky’s more celebrated and well known corporate identities across the commonwealth and has come to represent commitment to quality, cutting-edge innovation, and product reliability.

Big Ass Fans is so much more than just a gigantic fan. It is gigantic quality, gigantic performance, and a gigantic commitment to reliability and innovation. Its size is far from the only selling point about our product. Our product is a Kentucky Comfort Creator…and, these days, isn’t that exactly what Kentucky needs?

Goshen, KY: There are big games in the KHSAA and then there are BIG GAMES. Tonight, one of the hotter teams in the KHSAA, particularly its 5A classification, Atherton High (8-1) comes calling on another 8-1 ball club from 4A at Teal Field. Atherton will play North Oldham.

Both of these teams have star players. Both of these teams have outstanding coaching staffs. Both of these teams figure to factor into the KHSAA championship at their respective levels of competition.

One of these teams has Colin Daniels at QB and the other doesn’t. In the end, that may well be the difference in the outcome of the game.

Daniels is tearing it up and that isn’t a well kept secret around the commonwealth of Kentucky. Daniels has completed nearly 69% of his passing attempts (130/189), thrown for 2,124-yards already on the year, and has thrown for 37-TDs against only a pair of picks. Daniels has rushed for three (3) TDs giving him 40 combined TDs (rushing and throwing) on the season to lead all players competing in the KHSAA.

Daniels didn’t come out of nowhere this year either. As a matter of fact, Daniels has thrown 67-TDs since the ’24 season and that, too, leads the KHSAA.

Daniels has thrown for three (3) or more TDs in eight (8) consecutive games this year. His 37-TD passes leads the KHSAA while his nearly 69% completion rate is third among Kentucky HS QBs who have attempted at least 175-passing attempts.

Daniels has one of the better frames, Kentucky-wide, too. At 6’5,” 215-pounds, what more could a college program possibly want?

The Mustangs has a tough opponent coming into North Goshen tonight. Atherton is 8-1 in 5A boasting its own talent laden roster chock full of high school, football stars.

In the end, these two teams are pretty equally matched and are both excellently coached. Who comes out of this matchup with the 9-1 mark and boost into the playoffs is really anyone’s guess.

Garyon Hobbs (’27) is among Atherton’s more dynamic and recruited athletes. Hobbs leads the club in receiving, scoring, and is second in rushing.

Hobbs is a three-phase threat. Hobbs is among the more versatile, explosive, twitchy, and talented football players in the KHSAA in any graduating class at any classification of competition.

Hobbs plays defense. Hobbs has registered 39-tackles, seven (7)-TFLs, two (2)-sacks, a pick returned 25-yards, and a FF. Hobbs is far from lonely among the “Dudes” on the Raven’s roster. 

Zai’Vion Meads (’27) has registered 49-tackles, nine (9)-TFLs, seven (7)-sacks on the year and is the 13th most highly regarded prospect in the KHSAA among ’27s; ranked among the nation’s top defensive linemen. Meads is listed at 6’3,” 273-pounds.

Donee Sutton (’26) is among the better linebackers in the KHSAA. Sutton has registered 41-tackles, 15-TFLs, seven (7)-sacks, a pair of FFs, a FR, and an INT. Sutton is 5’11,” 185-pounds, can play RB on offense, and sports a 3.0-GPA. Sutton ranks as the 10th best linebacker in the KHSAA’s among ’26s.

This figures to be a real offensive versus defensive affair. It also figures to be a really closely contested matchup.

We like North Oldham in this matchup tonight, with Atherton, mostly because the game is in Goshen, KY and the senior leadership at QB figures to be a real tough obstacle for Atherton to overcome. There will be some points scored here, that seems a surety. We are going to give North Oldham the nod tonight, 42-38, over the Rebels.
