Brock was among ’29s best LBs in the KHSAA
Looking at the Brock kid, and we’e discussing Lane Brock, the ’29 linebacker from Franklin County High, there is no question in our minds he is a next level talent. Brock is 6’1,” and weighs pretty close to 200-pounds. Brock plays for one of 4As better stocked rosters for one of the KHSAA’s all-time head football coaches (Eddie James). There is no way this player isn’t on the cusp of blowing up into a highly sought after, division one, college football prospect. Lane Brock is doing everything THE RIGHT WAY.

This week’s Kentucky Comfort Creator is Franklin County High’s Lane Brock. Brock is a ’29 kid playing LB for the Flyers but capable of filling lots of slots, next level, for a variety of college teams at different competitive levels.
Brock plays for one of 4As more storied and successful programs in Franklin County High. Brock also plays for one of the KHSAA’s better head football coaches in Eddie James. That combination is a recipe for success.

Frankfort, KY: There was a guy a long time ago named Stephen Frank. Stephen Frank was an English settler who visited the area which would one day bear his name sometime around the 1750s.
On such a visit, Frank was killed at the Kentucky River. The settlers started called the crossing where Frank was killed, “Frank’s Ford.” This name amalgamated into Frankfort, and the rest is history.
Frankfort is known for a couple of things. For one, Daniel Boone is buried thereabouts. Secondly, it is the seat of government for the commonwealth of Kentucky.
Frankfort is the commonwealth’s 13th largest city. Franklin County can play the heck out of some football.
The Flyers finished ’25 where they finish a lot of seasons. When the smoke cleared, Eddie James’s “Flyers” were in Lexington, KY, playing for a title, and coming out on the short end of a championship score to tie a bow around its 14-1 record for the purposes of posterity.
Not what any of the Flyers would have wanted. Still, 2025 was a very fine season nonetheless.

Eddie James develops as much talent as anyone in the commonwealth of Kentucky. He looks to have a tremendous talent in ’29 linebacker, Lane Brock.
Around the offices of KPGFootball, we have two nicknames for this prospect. Some of us call him, Night Train Lane; others call him Lane Brick.
Either way, the point is fairly made. Brock is tough. Brock is darn good at football. Brock is the consummate, young linebacker.
Brock had one of the better freshman seasons we have ever seen at the 4A, championship level. Brock registered 97-tackles, four and a half (4.5) tackles for loss (TFLs), and half a sack.
That is fantastic production from a 6’1, 200-pound, first-year high school, second level player. The scary thing is Brock is only going to get better as he continues to mature, fill out, strengthen, and lengthen.
The next progression for this prospect is similar to lots of freshmen phenoms across Kentucky. Brock needs to play more down hill, attacking ball carriers, and less side to side. When Brock adds down-hill to his game-play; his TFLs, sacks, FFs, and FRs will all exponentially increase.
For now, Brock is one of the best in Kentucky at his stage of development where he deploys. We are excited to see what he does as a sophomore. We bet we aren’t the only ones in the Flyers fan club to feel this way.
Keep your eyes peeled on this guy. Then again, what do we know?
