Storm Warning: Dallas Kinlaw has put in the time and is ready for the show @jasonhenc3, @Aspirationsgym, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @HopkinsCentral

’28 RB/LB should see plenty of action this coming season

Dallas Kinlaw was just a freshman in ’24. Kinlaw got a freshman’s run in varsity games. Kinlaw saw action in two games, didn’t log a carry, and registered four (4) tackles from his LB slot. From what our sources are telling us, Kinlaw has put in the time and effort in the weight room and is unrecognizable from the player people remember from Browning Springs or from earlier this year. We are hearing keep a look out for Kinlaw in ’25. Hey, that is why the magazine pays me the big moola, to come across with information like this.

Morton’s Gap, KY: We have come up with a few pictures of Dallas Kinlaw. With his having no X-Account we could find, nor a Hudl page with anything on it, coming up with his picture (even one from middle school) was no easy chore.

All we can tell you is he barely resembles the young man to the right of this paragraph. With the lifting, strengthening, conditioning, and the physical gains he has experienced this spring, the picture attached to this paragraph barely resembles the Dallas Kinlaw roaming the Storm’s field house presently.

It isn’t uncommon for young developing men to experience quite the transformation once they find the weight room, bench press, and the squat rack. From what we have heard, Kinlaw is “living there” this spring. He will need to live there this summer too.

The Storm will need him. Sounds to me like he is ready to answer the call.

We regularly get calls from our agents informing us about personnel in the offseason so we will be adequately informed once the fall arrives. Life as the commonwealth’s foremost expert in KHSAA football has requirements. One has to “do the work” to gain and maintain the requisite expertise.

Our agent in the Hopkins county area called us raving about Kinlaw. According to our guy, Kinlaw has grown, has developed, and looks like a grown man from where a young boy once stood.

Coach Manning tells KPGFootball, Kinlaw is going to come into his own this coming season. Kinlaw will be a sophomore in ’25 and there is opportunity for him to get significant PT if he puts in the work.

For now, Manning tells us Kinlaw looks nothing like the guy who played sparingly over the course of his freshman season. Kinlaw is likely to see two-way, backfield/2nd level deployment in ’25.

Any football aficionado will tell you, be he either coach, media member, or just a fanatic, that Friday Night Stardom begins in the offseason. Kinlaw’s trek to the first string, and the top of the depth chart, began right there; on the bench press, in the squat rack, etc.

We have told you this before now, but it is worthy of re-mentioning. The Storm is putting in an offseason which is sure to develop some dependable stars on whom to rely under the glare of the Friday Night Lights.

Kinlaw will certainly be one of those. We know this because of how well he played in limited run on the varsity roster a year ago and how he is looking after a solid spring lifting and conditioning with the team.

Kinlaw played the heck out of limited opportunity. Kinlaw has the power, strength, and explosion to make much more out of his coming opportunities.

Colleges love RB/LB combos like Kinlaw. Can transition from an after thought to a main-stage performer? Certainly, if Kinlaw keeps his nose to the grindstone he can.

Then again, what do we know?
