The ’30s are coming on the roster for the Fall 2026 season. They will be freshmen and some of them will start, many of them will playing meaningful, varsity snaps, many of them will contribute in tangible ways, and a few of them will round into immediate, HS stars. Bigs are hard to figure as some of these guys outgrow their athleticism and need a few years to recover. One guy who figures to be an immediate contributor, if not a starter is James “LJ” Smith, IV. He is 6’4,” 292-pounds, appears headed to Male High where he will play both basketball and football, and already has D-1s checking in on him. Enjoy this look at a young, KY phenom and let’s keep it comfortable out there Kentucky, brought to you by our friends at Big Ass Fans!

Beau Artman from St. Xavier (Lou.) is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,

February 27, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Mason Trimble is headed to Danville, KY where it is anticipated he will be competing for QB-1 reps for the “Praying Colonels” in the Fall. That leaves a job opening under center for the St. Xavier Tigers under first year HFC, Brian Landis. Who will fill that slot? We take a look at the situation and garner a guess about one of the candidates, Beau Artman. Artman has the frame, physique, and athletic ability to take a run at the job. Opportunity is knocking, will Artman answer the door? Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard at Big Ass Fans!

Lane Brock, from Franklin County High, is our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator Weekly Feature @Lane2Brock, @FCFlyerFootball, @DennyDledford, @Teagan_Crowdus, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Lane Brock was a guy we could have put on the Big Ass Fans, Large School All-State Football team as easily as we missed him. Brock plays for one of 4A’s premier programs and one of the KHSAA’s best head football coaches (Eddie James). This is a kid who is a star right now, coming out as a freshman and making close to 100-tackles. When he learns to play more “down hill” there is no telling to how great he may end up being. It is hard to tell for sure about young guys but this guy here is a next level talent and we don’t mind going on the record with that RIGHT NOW! Enjoy the feature.

Landon Robinson, OL, from Covington Catholic is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @LRobinson_09, @CovCathFBAlumni, @CovCathFootball, @NDFootball

The real difference between big time Kentucky football programs and just programs, particularly in football, are “The Bigs.” I was talking with a newly hired, 6A head football coach and I told him, no matter how many flashy skills you can muster the real difference in big-timers versus the imposters reside along the lines of scrimmage. Your Boyle Counties, your Covington Catholics, your Lexington Catholics, they seem able to develop and deploy quality linemen up and down the roster. Landon Robinson is a great example. This kid missed five (5) games of action owing to breaking his nose a season ago but was in the starting lineup when available. This guy has all the tools to be a really high priority target for college programs searching for quality linemen which its pretty much every, single year. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky!

DJ Wren was a lucky find for the Wildcats (Lynn Camp) from Corbin @campcoach, @Nick_King25, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

January 31, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

DJ Wren was a tremendous running back at the 1A level for the Lynn Camp Wildcats from Corbin, KY. Wren averaged nearly 9-yards per carry and close to 200-yards a night. Wren was the team’s leading passer, rusher, scorer, tackler, and tackler behind the enemy line. Wren is a varsity basketball player too who figures to have a bright future ahead of him regardless of where or in what sport he happens to spend it. This guy is just one of many examples of outstanding football players who go undiscovered, every season, throughout the Bluegrass. Enjoy this look at a kid who made our Small-School All-State Football team this past season.

Kenyon Cunningham, from Murray High, is our Bank of Cadiz featured player @KenyonCunn61547, @MurrayTigers, @MLT_Sports, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Kenyon Cunningham is a kid with a ton athletic ability and potential who was put in a very tough spot for any freshman both in the semi-state and then in the championship game. He will be called on to be “The Man” going forward as senior Wyatt Robbins has exhausted his eligibility and is headed to play football for the Murray State Racers. Cunningham is a ranked basketball prospect in the commonwealth among ’29s and is already enjoying success as a varsity basketball player on a 12-2 ball club. Cunningham is the kind of kid coaches want to coach and, in the end, that may be the finest compliment which can be paid to him. Enjoy the feature.

The @BigAssFans, Small School (1A, 2A, & 3A) All-State Football Team

December 10, 2025 Fletcher Long 15

We will start out this all-state team with an admonition with which we begin every team we have ever published. We will miss on some guys. It is just important to note that your son not making out team doesn’t mean he wasn’t an all-state caliber player. Also, we expressly reserve the right to re-enter the team, even after it is published, and add worthy players who may have been missed or accidentally omitted. That being said, our small and large school All-State football teams, sponsored by Big Ass Fans, are the most expansive and complete teams in the business. This team here, and the coaches’s team published by the Courier Journal, are the only two legitimate teams in existence and we believe our team to be much more complete and legitimate than even theirs. Congratulations to the players who made the team and congratulations to the wonderful world of Kentucky high school football for providing us with the endless thrills and discussions we net from our following this, the greatest game on earth.
