’26 Navy commitment entered Danville w/ 8.5-TFLs & 10-QB sacks
Logan Mays is 6’6.5″ and weighs 230-pounds and, in every possible way, possesses the measurable physical dimensions requisite to play “big-time college football.” So, he shall. Mays has committed to the U.S. Naval Academy, at Annapolis, and is enjoying a spectacular senior season in spite of most opponents identifying him and running, as fast as their legs can carry them, in the opposite direction. The Eagles are rounding into playoff form and riding four straight wins (including a 49-18 over the Admirals from Danville, 7-2) into a date with a very good Washington County (5-3) team. LCA is now 5-3 and, should they overcome the Commanders and Pleasure Ridge Park (6A, Lou.), will enter the playoffs 7-3 on the strength of six (6) straight W’s. We call that a “heater.” We love this time of year.

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 is Lexington Christian Academy’s WR/DB, Logan Mays (’26).
Mays is a superstar at the high school level and will feature prominently on All-State rosters at season’s end. At 6’6.5,” 230-pounds, Mays has the length, height, leg-kick, twitch, and explosion to impact games and intimidate opponents into trying the other side.
Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) perennially competes for KHSAA championships at its level of play. Players developing into stars, like Logan Mays, has a ton to do with the program’s success.
Lexington, KY: The KHSAA develops and produces more Division I football talent than many appreciate. There is another noteworthy characteristic about Kentucky’s talent pool; when they send a player to play Division I football, even where he is “walking on,” that guy generally finds the lineup and plays for that school very, very well.
’26 TE/DE
Logan Mays is such a talent. The ’26 TE/DE can play on either side of the football at the next level. Mays is 6’6.5,” and weighs 230-pounds, possessing both the height and length required to play either of his projected positions (TE/DE) at the FBS, Division I level.
Mays has been very successful at LCA at his offensive and defensive positions. While Mays has only caught single pass this season, and targeted little of the time; the pass Mays caught went for 57-yards. Mays has been crucial in the run-blocking scheme, as the 6th-OL, for a team which has already rushed for over 1,200-yards on the season with 21-rushing TDs.
Defense has been an altogether different matter. Mays, in spite of teams running away from him, entered the game with Danville having registered 8.5 TFLs and five (5) of the team’s 10-QB sacks. Fifty percent of the team’s sacks coming from just one player is pretty significant. Something to be said about a player who is always coming up “big time” with a big play at key moments.
Mays’s play has been critical to the emergence of LCA on the 2A scene following an opening to the season which saw the Eagles lose three (3) of its first four (4) games. That aside, the Eagles are on a hot streak now (four consecutive W’s) and don’t look to be slowing any; pounding a very good Danville team (7-2), 49-18, this past weekend.
LCA has a huge upcoming game. The Eagles will brace for a tough trip to Washington County to play a 5-3 Commanders squad which has won two (2) in a row itself. Springfield is not an easy place to have to play either. The Commanders are coming off an eight (8) win ’24 season the Washington County team is accustomed to winning ball games at a frequent clip.
Lawrence Smith, the head man in Springfield, has his team playing well again this season. The Commanders have already beaten Coach David Buchanon’s Anderson County team (5A) earlier in the year, 21-14.
Pleasure Ridge Park (6A, Louisville) coming up to end the regular season is a game which could boost the Eagles RPI considerably, enabling LCA to get to play several playoff rounds in Lexington.

LCA has worked hard to climb to 5-3 on the year. The Eagles had lost three in a row to powerhouses Christian Academy-Louisville, Boyle County, and Franklin County prior to getting on this immediate four (4) game win streak.
Beginning with the “Holy War” with Lexington Catholic, the Eagles are riding a win-streak and can continue this climb, but only if we are firing on all cylinders. The staff has done an excellent job of insuring the team is both ready to play regardless of opponent and executing in fine form each and every week.
Washington County will be quite the test. However, should the Eagles survive this test, there will be no doubt LCA is a title contender in the 2A classification and rounding into playoff form at just the right time.
Obviously, Mays is a next level kid or future college football player as his being so characterized has been already determined by coaches paid to make such evaluations. We can see Mays, at Navy, playing either TE or DE; but, believe he may well play defense for the Midshipmen if not beef up some and slide inside to offensive tackle. Recruiting OTs who are plus athletes is a favorite tactic of schools playing football in the “big time.”
We know this, Mays’s performance this season only strengthens (in our minds) these predictions. We also know Mays, Bertram, Mathew Montgomery, and Nash Whelan (about whom we have before written over the last three to four (3 to 4) weeks), are all strong, academic performers with both excellent class standings and sure-fire qualifying credentials for the NCAA Clearinghouse, when the time comes.
For now, Mays is one other thing, in addition to all the other skills and assets we have highlighted. Mays is among the very best TE/DE prospects in the KHSAA’s ’26 graduating class and, also, our eCampus.com, Big Man on the eCampus for this week!
Join us next week as we return to honor 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.
