’25 WR/B/ATH is a Kentucky champion in the long jump, was fourth in the 200m, and is killing it in football
Solomon Stonebreaker is the son of the head football coach. That comes with a ton of pressure. There are people out there who will want to attribute Solomon’s on-field success to his playing for his dad, Steve. Well, Solomon Stonebreaker plays because he is a freak athlete, a Kentucky Champion in the long jump, 4th in the 200-meter, clicks off 40s in 4.4-seconds, has a 6’1″ wingspan on a 5’9″ frame, and a 40-inch vertical leap. In other words his playing has nothing to do with his bearing the surname, “Stonebreaker.”

KPGfootball forecast for Adair County at Glasgow: Indians 24 (80% chance of winning), Scotties 14
Columbia, KY: The Adair County Indians are rolling and maybe among the hottest teams in Kentucky 3A. The Indians stand at 5-0, having beaten a tough Russell County squad (4A, 3-2), Caverna, LaRue, Franklin-Simpson, and Monroe County.
Adair travels to Glagow, Kentucky this coming Friday night with a date with the “Scotties.” We have the Indians with an 80% chance of winning that contest, even on the road, and favored by 10-13 points. That would leave the Indians, should everything in Glasgow, KY go to plan, with a 6-0 record entering a stretch where the Indians will host Hart County and McCreary Central and travel to Butler and Metcalfe for an exciting finish.
Holding serve at home makes it an 8-2 finish. Of the remaining five games with the Indians standing at 5-0, Adair County has an 80% chance of beating Glasgow, a 65% chance of beating Hart County in Columbia, a 99% chance of beating Butler County on the road, a 95% chance of hosting McCreary successfully, and a 99% chance of winning the season-ender versus Metcalfe in Edmonton.
We aren’t experts in mathematics by any stretch. However, by our count, the Indians stand a nearly 88% chance of following up ’23’s 7-4 mark (Steve Stonebreaker’s inaugural campaign) with a 10-0 regular season.
That is quite a two year run from a coach many around Kentucky are admiring. Keep this name in mind as jobs come open this coming offseason. That is, if anyone can pry him out of Columbia. You know the old saying, don’t fix what ain’t broke.
We can’t think of any transfer destination in KY where Stonebreaker doesn’t start immediately
Friday Night Fletch
Solomon Stonebreaker has not played anything like the son of a coach needing dear old dad to find the starting lineup. Frankly, we can’t think of a roster, anywhere in Kentucky at any level, where Solomon Stonebreaker isn’t hitting the field immediately.
Stonebreaker is coming off quite a junior season. Stonebreaker, in ’23, caught 51-balls for 885-yards receiving, with eight (8) TDs, a housed kick-off return, 4-INTs, and only one pass caught over him exceeding 20-yards for the season.
Through the first five games, being the focus of every opponent’s scouting report, Stonebreaker has 15-receptions, 344-yards receiving, three (3) TDs receiving. He leads the team in all three categories and is second on the team in scoring.
On defense, Stonebreaker leads the team in Passes Broken Up (PBUs), has six (6) stops, two TFLs, and a sack. That is way more than just token defensive participation.
Stonebreaker, a ’25 prospect, would be a real find for a lucky college program here in the commonwealth. That is unless you believe 5’9″ athletes with two (2) Kentucky track championships, 40-inch verticals, 4.4 second 40s, and 6’1″ wingspans grow on trees; which, we assure you, they don’t. Players Stonebreaker’s size who bench press 265-lbs. and squat four-plates (405-lbs.) don’t grown on trees either.
This is a feel good story developing in Columbia, Kentucky. The Indians can play. The Indians are exceedingly well coached. The Indians have a coach’s son who is a veritable athletic freak show.
Where is this bus likely to stop? Who knows, maybe Lexington, KY.
