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 7

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.

Jacob Savage from Ryle High is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @jacobsavage2125, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @IndianaFootball, @RAIDERSPORTSNKY

Many people believe Jacob Savage is Kentucky’s best all-around, high school football player. Indiana’s Curt Cignetti would agree, that is why he offered and accepted the commitment from the North Kentucky superstar. Savage has had a tremendous career contributing to multiple phases of the Ryle Raiders’s attack. This kid has won the Paul Hornung Award given annually to the commonwealth’s very best player. Will he double up and win Mr. Football too? You know there is some precedent for that occurring. Enjoy this look at Ryle’s Jacob Savage, a player who couldn’t have had a better surname for the sport he was playing.

John Paul Carrico, ’28 OL from Owensboro Catholic, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans @JohnPaulCarrico, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

You can’t coach height. You can’t coach length. There are measurements and characteristics or traits the Good Lord bequeaths you or doesn’t. Let’s just call John Paul Carrico amply blessed. Carrico is a ’28 lineman playing for an elite 2A program which seems yearly in the chase for a title. The Aces will entertain Beechwood’s Tigers and that is a tough draw for any team this late in November. Carrico is 6’8,” 295-pounds with an 80-inch reach and 35-inch arms. He also has anywhere from a 3.75 to a 4.0 GPA and his “dance card” is filling up fast. Enjoy this serial article awarding the Big Ass Fans “Kentucky Comfort Creator” to his long, tall, lengthy, and athletic lineman from Owensboro.

Camden Page, ’27 from South Warren, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans @CamdenPage2027, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

Ever heard of the catbird seat? It is called “sitting pretty” and that is exactly where Camden Page appears to have his South Warren Spartans sitting entering tonight’s regional championship game with Henderson County (6-6). Page is having a tremendous season and completing close to 73% of his passing attempts with a four to one, TDs to INTs ratio. We call that efficiency. The most important part of the equation is Page having his team sitting undefeated with the highest RPI in the 6A classification. Can the Spartans win a 6A title their first year in the classification? Well, Page has them in the “catbird seat,” that is for sure. Enjoy this serial article awarding the Big Ass Fans “Kentucky Comfort Creator” to his long, tall, lengthy, and athletic QB from south-central Kentucky.

Colin Daniels and his Mustangs have a monster match-up this eventing at the Teal Field in Goshen, KY. Head Football Coach, Brock Roberts, will take on the hot as heck-fire, Atherton Rebels, and its enigmatic, young coach, Anthony White. The two teams are both 8-1 with 5A Atherton enjoying the larger of the two enrollments. The one promises to e epic and the commonwealth’s “Touchdown Leader,” Colin Daniels will figure prominently in the eventual outcome.

Give that man a ‘Blue Ribbon,’ Nathan Pabst (’27), from Beechwood, is our @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the week @nathan_pabst, @BHSTigerFBall, @HergottGreg, @JayVolker, @eCampusdotcom, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @cleats2whistle

In 1973, country artist Johnny Russell released a classic song about rednecks, white sox, and blue ribbon beer. The “blue ribbon beer” Mr. Russell was referencing in the song written by Wayland Holyfield and Bob McDill was Pabst Blue Ribbon. We don’t know whether Nathan Pabst is descended from the Frederick Pabst for whom the beer was named but we do know the penchant Nathan Pabst has for rendering on the football field a blue ribbon performance. Well, Nathan rendered such a performance last Friday Night against Erlanger, KY’s St. Henry’s. St. Henry’s is new to KHSAA football. Lesson number one, done schedule trips to Fort Mitchell, KY unless you enjoy embarrassing “beat downs.” Enjoy this serial article awarding the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator.

The military schools have gotten notification they are being exempted from the federal shutdown in recognition of extracurricular activities being “…an important part of our military-connected students’ school experience.” Man, are we glad of that. Enjoy this look at Jaylen Irish, our Big Ass Fans, Kentucky Comfort Creator this week as he gets ready to entertain top-ranked Owensboro Catholic this coming weekend!
