Storm Warning: Isac Earl maybe the best athlete attending Hopkins County Central @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @ChiefSmoke10, @_CoachManning, @SylasGunn, @carlos_mason52, @HopkinsCentral

February 13, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

If you were to look at all the ways Isac Earl contributed to Central’s bottom line over his junior season, you may draw the conclusion we did. He led the team in passing, led the team in receiving, led the team in scoring, was among the leaders in rushing, tackles, TFLs, and FFs. That is a ton of leadership out of one position. The 5’8,” 165-pound dynamo may be the Storm’s best all-around athlete on the roster not named “Gunn.” Enjoy this feature about a young man who brings on the stormy weather for Central foes.

BJ Evans, 2026 RB, from Tates Creek (Lexington) is this week’s @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator @BJ_Evans5, @minguabeefjerky, @TC_CommodoresFB, @kyhighfootball

February 7, 2025 Fletcher Long 3

We selected BJ Evans to our Large School All-State Football Offense this past season as only a junior. Rushing for 1,799-yards on 194-carries, scoring 20-TDs and averaging 9.3-yards per carry against Lexington 6A competition will garner one some notice. What will Evans do for an encore? Challenge for the Mr. Football Award and a repeat appearance on our all-state team would be solid guesses. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

Jaylen Bradley from Glasgow High set to explode onto the scene his junior year @JaylenBradley22, @jax_arnett, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @GHSScottieSport

February 4, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Jaylen Bradley just finished his sophomore season playing for one of the more prestigious programs in Kentucky. Bradley caught 12-balls for 273-yards and three (3) TDs on offense and registered 16-tackles, two (2) INTs in his 11-games of run. Jackson Arnett is the new sheriff in a town which has won 690-all time football games. What is our prediction for both Bradley and his “Scotties?” Success…

Matthew Montgomery making his way, finding his path @matthewmont57, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @Thomas_sizemor, @LauerFBU, @CoachDCharles, @Oakley_Watkins, @CamGarnerLCA, @LCAEAGLESFB

There are some really outstanding freshmen football players who got a ton of reps during the ’24 season. There was even a ’28 kid who got 13-games of run behind the best OL unit in Kentucky at any classification. LCA’s Matthew Montgomery is a 6’0,” 230-pound guy with a 275-pound bench, a 405-pound squat, and a penchant for flattening defenders unfortunate enough to get in his pulling trajectory on traps and pulls. Is this guy the next Anthony Johns? Could be! Enjoy the article.

Jeremiah Austin, from Belfry High, is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator @BelfryFootball1, @wolford_bo, @_MLFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball

January 24, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

JJ Austin is a workhorse for one of Kentucky’s premier programs. He leads the team in rushing, and rushing the football is what the Pirates do best. JJ is also more than a token defender. What will he do in ’25, as a senior? One might say he is “in the lead” to represent the “Big Ass Fans” Small School All-State Football Offense at FB/LB in 2025. It is still early. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

Malik Coburn from Bowling Green Senior leading the pack in ’26 off the edge @MalikCoburn24, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @PurplesFootball, @CoachSpader

January 21, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Malik Coburn is among the very best DEs in Kentucky in the ’26 class. Matter of fact, he is among ’26’s very best prospects at any position. What makes him so great? Wouldn’t you like to know? We will strike a deal with you. Read this article and we will tell you. Enjoy the feature.

Kadin Hanshaw from Grayson County High is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @ChiefSmoke10

January 17, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Kadin Hanshaw is among the more versatile performers in the entire commonwealth of Kentucky. One might say he is “in the lead” to represent the “Big Ass Fans” Large School All-State Football Offense at RB/LB in 2025. It is still early. However, what this guy did as a sophomore was pretty dad-burn impressive and made him a serious candidate for the ’24 team even though he ended up getting edged out.

Elijah Lewis from Dunbar High is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @lewis_Elijah1, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @ChiefSmoke10

January 10, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

There are good players all over the commonwealth. This is true of teams which enjoy success and it is equally true of teams and programs which tend to struggle. Dunbar High is coming off a 1-9 and is struggling a bit at the present time. That said, Elijah Lewis had a fantastic year. We are winding up our coverage of the ’25’s but didn’t want to drop these guys without reporting on a guy who stepped it up this year in tough circumstances. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!

The premier edge defender in KY is our @minguabeefjerky Protein-packed Performer of the Week @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @hardesty_baron, @youareathlete, @BE_Chargers, @BECoachKendrick

January 8, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Baron Hardesty is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly in the weight room. He is also impressing all the right people. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with an FBS level team, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered the prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Shane (Dee) Parker from Whitley County is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @ChiefSmoke10, @minguabeefjerky, @wchs_colonels, @WhitleyFootball, @WCHSRecruit

January 3, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Dee Parker from Whitely County was one of the few RBs in 4A to rush for close to 2,000 yards while contributing in all three phases of the game. Big Ass Fans salutes this fine player as it continues to demonstrate a willingness to support and promote young Kentucky kids in the pursuit of their dreams and aspirations. We are proud to award this week’s award and recognition to Shane “Dee” Parker from Whitley County. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it cool out there Kentucky!
