’29 skill guy can play QB, WR, and DB
Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) played a murder’s row type schedule in 2025 and still won the 2A title and finished 12-3. Of course, not all three (3) loss seasons are similarly situated. This particular three loss worksheet also boasted an opening weekend victory over a ranked 6A team in North Hardin and a win in the “Holy War” over 3A rival, Lexington Catholic. LCA will have a target on its back the entire ’26 Fall and it would be unwise to overlook the pride of Lexington’s 2A classification regardless of how large of an enrollment from which your school may benefit. Enjoy this look at a kid who, along with the other 29s we have before highlighted, may be among the better classes in all of the commonwealth of Kentucky competing at the KHSAA level in football. Seigler figures, in ’26, to make a tremendous difference for his team and was on an Eagle team playing its best football at exactly the right time of year, last season. Don’t be surprised to see this young guy come out of seemingly no where to press for All-State consideration.

eCampus.com was built on a simple idea: make textbooks affordable, convenient, and accessible for every student. Founded in 1999 in Lexington, KY and backed by visionary investors like Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, the company has grown into a premier online textbook retailer for high school and college students nationwide.
Their mission has always been supporting student success both on and off the field through affordable access to the course materials they need. eCampus.com is excited to invest in our student-athletes through Kentucky Prep Gridiron (KPGFootball) which was founded to promote and assist young high school football players get promoted to “next level,” college football opportunities.
That is why eCampus.com sponsors the KPGFootball, Big Man on the eCampus series. This week’s Big Man on the eCampus feature is Lexington Christian Academy’s rising junior IOL, John Seigler (’29).
Seigler is coming off a very productive season in 2025 which would see him play in 15-games. Seigler would catch a pass, record seven (7) tackles, recover a fumble, and materially contribute to the coverage and return units on special teams.
LCA returns an offensive front captained by its two All-Staters, Greer and Montgomery, behind which the Eagles passed for 2,299-yards, completing 156 of 239-passing attempts (66% completion rate approximately), and 26-TDs against only 6-picks. The Eagles also rushed for 2,254-yards, on 350-carries (6.44-yards per), with 39-TDs rushing from scrimmage.
Seigler can play QB but that is a crowed and young room. We look for himself to contribute more at WR,DB in ’26. With the versatility of his skill set, there is no telling where he may ultimately slot. This rising sophomore figures to be a critical piece of one of Kentucky’s premier high school football programs in 2026. The Eagles ability to protect the ball-carriers, particularly its all-state, ’28, dual threat QB, will be tantamount to its ability to defend its championship.
Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) perennially competes for KHSAA championships at its level of play. Young, up and coming guys, like Seigler are among the reasons why.
Lexington, KY: John Seigler is a fine athlete, had a very nice year for a freshman on a varsity roster which won its classification’s title, and is a very good baseball player. Coupled with several other ’29s we have before highlighted, Seigler is a member of one of the best batches of rising sophomores across the KHSAA.
LCA won the title in ’25. The title was the program’s second ever. Now the Eagles get to experience being the hunted over being the hunter.
The fact is this…the Eagles were young in 2025. Many believed LCA was (at least) a year away from contending in ’25.
Seigler is a fine baseball prospect, in addition to what he figures to be in football. The WR/DB/Special teams player registered a catch, recovered a fumble, and registered seven (7) tackles in 15-games of action as a freshman.
You don’t expect freshmen to see the field. Especially not at elite private schools who challenge for the KHSAA title most every year.
LCA winning it all in ’25 makes the Eagles a definite threat to repeat in ’26. The Eagles have the pieces, both in place and returning, to do it.
The one question mark may be at PK. Shackelton didn’t get many opportunities his freshman year but has potential and ability. Other than that one post, the Eagles return in tact and ready for another run.
The ’28 graduating class is a particularly potent one. Both Greer and Montgomery performed at an elite degree in 2025.
Behind these two manning the middle of the offensive front, the Eagles passed for 2,299-yards, completing 156 of 239-passing attempts (66% completion rate approximately), and 26-TDs against only 6-picks. The Eagles also rushed for 2,254-yards, on 350-carries (6.44-yards per), with 39-TDs rushing from scrimmage.
This was above written. It bore repeating. Some things are worth saying multiple times.
Competitors know how to compete. Being able to compete at all of the three phases of the game is the recipe for championship success. Seigler has a three-phase skill set. Seigler will get play in all three phases, we believe, going forward.
One of Seigler’s positions listed on his prospect pages is QB. It will be interesting to see if Seigler gets any PT at QB in what is a crowded and talented position room.
Skill guys don’t amass points without a stout front line keeping defenders from running free to obstruct an offense’s progress. The success of any skill guy is directly related to the play of the guys around him, particularly the guys with their hands in the dirt.
Seigler figure to see action in all three phases in ’26

Against a gauntlet of football powers at different classes in the middle of playing one of the more difficult schedules in the KHSAA last year, Seigler (though just a freshman) proved himself among the more versatile, multiphase weapons at both WR and DB. Seigler’s playing time figures to only increase as will his on field production as a sophomore.

We recognize LCA will have to continue to play well if the program is to continue to experience the success it had in its second championship season. That being said, we are still predicting it likely the Eagles challenge for the title in ’26 like the program customarily does annually.
We see Seigler as a next level kid or future college football player though he is early along in his football playing career. We aren’t sure if it will be as a WR, DB, or even as a QB. It may be in baseball.
Seigler’s level at which he figures to play will depend on how his frame either finishes or is perceived and how well his power, speed, and “quicks” continue to develop. Which sport he elects to play will be up to him.
Seigler is smart to play any sport he enjoys. Coaches like that type of background.
We’re sure Seigler, like a lot of kids at his stage of physical development, could use another couple inches and the addition of some good weight gained during a productive offseason. Couldn’t we all?
We know this, Seigler’s performances on “Friday Nights,” as a freshman a season ago, only strengthened (in our minds) our prediction concerning his future college prospects. We also know Seigler, like Greer, like Lyons, like Matthew Montgomery, about whom we persistently write, are all strong academic performers with excellent class standing and almost assuredly will be “full qualifiers,” in the NCAA clearinghouse, when the time comes.
For now, Seigler is one other thing in addition to all the other skills and assets we have highlighted. Seigler numbers among the very best at his position groups in the KHSAA’s ’29 graduating class, particularly in the Lexington area. Seigler is also our eCampus.com, Big Man on the eCampus, Feature of the Week!
Join us next week as we feature another eCampus.com, Big Man on the eCampus. Until then, from any classroom to every field, eCampus.com delivers an easy, fast, and affordable way to order textbooks for students everywhere.
