Big Ass Fans Large School All-State Team

Colleges are looking for QBs like Fox Coons and who could blame them? @coons_foxx, @WoodfordFBall, @PrepRedzone, @khsaafootball, @KyhighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Fox Coons comes into the ’26 season a “favorite” to challenge for “Mr. Football.” He is 6’5,” 240-pounds and is coming off a year where he threw for over 3,300-yards and 41-TDs. Coons clocked a 4.9-second, 40-yard dash at the Best of the Midwest college combine and registered 4.83-seconds on his “pro agility shuttle.” This kid is playing at the right program too. Coach Dennis Johnson has his team contending yearly for 5A supremacy and making deep, deep playoff runs each and every November/December. Is this coming season the season where the Yellow Jackets break through and walk off Kroger field with a 5A title. Trotting Fox Coons out to run the offense is a pretty good place from which to start. Enjoy this feature.

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,

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.

Kolin Baker ready for his shine @KolinB95, @vashawnFB, @BodeDarland, @JahbarriFrost98, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

Kolin Baker is largely believed to be among the top-five (5) DLs in Kentucky’s ’28 graduating class. This belief persists in spite of his contributing a scant eight (8) tackles and a single TFL over his 14-games of play his sophomore season. Then again, the kid did see PT in 14-games for Kentucky’s foremost high school football program during a season in which the program won its 3rd consecutive, 6A title and 30th title overall; so, there is that! We have before said a college player will find the field in high school sometime during his sophomore season. This 285-pound wrestler certainly found the field as a sophomore in 14 of the team’s 15 games. What his stats either were or weren’t seems rather trite and mundane compared to the amount of PT he got on the KHSAA’s most talented roster, wouldn’t you agree? Enjoy the feature.

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!

’27 ATH, Tremayne Clay, from the Christian County Tigers is the Lasaters Coffee & Tea Wake Up and Smell the Coffee Player of the Week @KatherineL58069, @coachclsmit, @ChiefSmoke10, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @CoachJEzell, @eCampusdotcom, @HenryMi74881410, @HopHighTigers, @FC_FALCONS_FB

Tremayne Clay brings something to the table programs desperately need, particularly programs competing at the 6A classification. Clay has a very versatile skill set with a variety of talents which lend itself well to playing multiple sports and in multiple phases of a football game. Clay was among the offensive and defensive leaders for the former Hoptown Tigers this past Fall and is set to lead the newly configured, conglomerate High School. Clay’s multi-faceted, athletic tool belt makes him more, not less, recruitable to colleges around the commonwealth. Enjoy this feature brought to you by our friends and neighbors at Lasaters Coffee & Tea where you aren’t just served, you are loved!

We continue on with our offseason coverage not really discussing players of the week so much as discussing featured players and prospects. Luis Ira is a ’26 left guard who was an unsung hero for his Laker ball club which experienced, under first year head football coach, Coby Lewis quite the remarkable turnaround. The Lakers went from winless in ’24 to six (6) wins in ’25 and proved a competitive spirit along the way. People around this program are excited about the strides it is making in a city (Murray, KY) getting known as a hotbed of football competitiveness on Kentucky’s western end. Enjoy the feature.

Boyle County, together with the titles won by cross town Danville High, have earned the nickname “Title Town.” Boyle has 13-titles, having just won Justin Haddix’s fifth (5th) title over the previous six (6) seasons. Players like Seneca Driver have much to do with the success. Haddix and his staff seem to regularly produce football playing talent like Driver. Montavin “Q” Quisenberry won “Mr. Football” just a few years ago and Seneca Driver has to be considered an early favorite for that, and many other, awards entering 2026. Enjoy this look at one of the best football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has produced over the last decade or so.

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.
