’27 QB has consistent mechanics, tight spirals, strong accuracy
One of the top evaluators in the world of high school quarterbacking is the Elite 11 series. An outfit called Six Star Football was at the Elite 11 series and evaluated Collins High’s Kade Goodin. These guys said that Gooin showed “…consistent mechanics during the workout sessions, delivering tight spirals with strong accuracy across multiple route concepts.” They went on to write, “…Goodin’s footwork remained clean throughout drills, helping [Goodin] stay balanced and on time with his throws.” Finally, the national prospect evaluators wrote, “Goodin also demonstrated athletic ability, moving well in the pocket and showing the capability to create plays with his legs. His season production reflects that dual-threat ability, as [Goodin threw] for 2,357 yards and 22 touchdowns in nine games while adding 770 rushing yards and 21 rushing scores. The combination of arm talent, mobility, and strong mechanics gives Goodin a high-upside profile in the ’27 class.” We couldn’t have said it better.

Lasaters Preseason Nifty-Nichols
Shelbyville, KY: We have just published our Lasaters Coffee & Tea preseason Nifty-Nichols team. The team is supposed to contain the fifty-five (55) best football players heading into the ’26 Fall football season.
You know us. We prefer to err on the side of inclusion.
We actually featured 61-players in the article which we have above linked. Still, if the article mentions you and highlights your abilities and accomplishments, even if you were in the Close, but no Cigar section, you are an extraordinarily elite player at your position throughout the commonwealth and entitled to the plaudits an recognition appertaining to inclusion on the Lasaters’s team.
One guy we recognized was Martha Layne Collins’s Kade Goodin. Kade Goodin seems to make both our preseason and postseason teams anytime we are discussing Kentucky’s premier football players.
There is a reason for that. Everything about this prospect is elite.
Kade Goodin is on the team and made it on the Fifty-Five portion in spite of having his season cut short by injury a year ago. Collins is a 5A powerhouse program accustomed to deep playoff runs. The team was 8-4 in ’25, losing Goodin after the ninth game.
In Goodin’s nine (9) games as a junior, Goodin threw for 2,357 yards and 22 touchdowns

One has to wonder what the team would have done had Goodin not succumbed to injury. One has to wonder what Goodin’s production would have been had he played in all of the ball club’s games.
Goodin’s ’25 numbers were on track to annihilate his ’24 numbers from his sophomore year. We want to see prospects develop over their years in the high school lineup. Goodin has been materially better from season to season, just like a recruiter would hope.
In Goodin’s nine (9) games as a junior, Goodin threw for 2,357 yards and 22 touchdowns while adding 770 rushing yards and 21 rushing scores by land. We call that “dual threat” in the QB-world. Each of his threats were equally lethal.
Goodin threw for 262-yards per game. Goodin rushed for 86-yards per game, picking up his 770-rushing yards in only 105-carries. Twenty-two (22) rushing TDs in 105 carries comes out to hitting pay-dirt every 4.78 or so rushing attempts.
How many RBs in Kentucky, much less QBs, were that efficient in the ground game? Not too many, we would wager, especially not in 5A football.
Goodin has five (5) reported Division I, football offers. Goodin’s frame (6’3, 200-pounds), footwork, pocket presence, and production are among the reasons Goodin is considered one of the more coveted Kentucky signal callers in KHSAA football.
Goodin only threw three (3) INTs as a junior. Goodin completed close to 60% of his attempts.
This coming year will be a big season for this senior and his teammates. Coach Jerry Lucas would like to see the Titans make a run at a title. Having your leading rusher/passer return at QB is a huge boost to any team’s prospects.
Having other players return like Aviyan Delaney (’27 WR, 79-receptions, 1,156-receiving yards, 13-TDs) and Tre England (’27, 15-TFLs, three QB sacks, a FF, and a FR in ’25) certainly doesn’t dim any of the fans’s expectations. Neither will having a Good’un named Goodin.
