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.

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!

The Feds may shut down @FC_FALCONS_FB but nobody’s shutting down Dixon. He is the Kentucky Comfort Creator/Player of the Week @FC_FALCONS_FB, @KeshawnDixon23, @eCampusdotcom, @Ale8One, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @cleats2whistle

This is a special edition of our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator series. Keshawn Dixon, a senior RB/LB at 2A, Fort Campbell High, is posting some incredible numbers in this, his senior year. Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop the federal government shut down from shutting down his team, his coaches, his teammates, and his assault on the KHSAA statistical website among 2A and KHSAA players. We need to find some way to come together and end the gridlock. That is as close to a political statement as you will ever get from us. If we wanted to talk politics, we would cover it. Enjoy this look at Keshawn Dixon, our Big Ass Fans, Kentucky Comfort Creator!

Kaleb Miller (’26 RB) from Bell County is the Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @KalebMiller022, @BoysGirls13th, @DanielThomas_4, @BellCountyFB, @bigassfans

September 5, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

There is something in the water around Bell County which makes 5’9,” 205-pound RBs who run for a bigilloin yards grow on trees. Remember Daniel Thomas who won the coveted “Mr. Football” Award a few years ago? Coach Hilton has him another tough as nails, unassuming looking thoroughbred, running rough-shod over defenses again in ’25. His name is Kaleb Miller, he is 5’9,” 205-pound RB who gained 2,100 yards as a junior and was selected to the All-State, first team. Miller is at it again, as he already is averaging over 155-yards a game through his first two and leading the ball club with 34-points comprised of five (5) rushing TDs and a pair of two-pointers. Bell County is off to a fast start and has played (already) two of the more talented teams it will face this year on the road at Campbellsville and on the road at Perry County Central, winning both. Enjoy this feature.

Gavin Johnson from Hazard, Kentucky is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @Gjohnson1418, @coach_chandler @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

August 14, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

This is a super freak athlete from the Appalachia mountains. His father, an attorney in Hazard, Kentucky, told us his vertical is slightly over 43-inches and that Gavin won’t stop till it tops 45. What that means is his reported 40-time of 4.58-seconds isn’t even close. Johnson is much, much faster than that! This kid is really a physical specimen and should be firmly in the “Mr. Football” race his senior year in spite of his playing 1A football. We have said this many times. There are good teams and bad teams in the KHSAA and they span all six (6) of Kentucky’s classifications. Enjoy this feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky. Allow us to help you out in that regard as we tell you the story of Gavin Johnson from Hazard, KY.

Miles Hollon from Breathitt High is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @Qb1miles4, @Eli_thomas11, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball,

July 25, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Miles Hollon is a rare commodity among ’28 QBs. While many of them are selling “potential,” he’s selling production. How many QBs throw for close to 2,000 yards with 21-thrown TDs as freshmen? You can count them on less than a single hand. Hollon’s frame and growth potential are big pluses for him as he is our Big Ass Fans, Kentucky Comfort Creator this week. Let’s keep it cool out there KY.

Chase Bell (’28 QB) from South Warren is this week’s Kentucky Comfort Creator from @bigassfans @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @SouthWarrenFB, @IamChaseBell15

July 11, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Chase Bell and Camden Page look to battle it out preseason for the QB-slot at South Warren vacated by Bryce Button’s graduation. South Warren is coming off a 12-2 season where it was arguably the second best team in 5A in ’24. Where will they figure into the 6A title chase? Well, we don’t know. We would suppose they will go as far as either Page or Bell carries them. Chase Bell is a ’28 guy with an incredible frame and athleticism so impressive Maryland has already offered. Bell’s frame and growth potential are carrying the day for him as he is our Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator this week. Let’s keep it cool out there KY.

Christian Shackelford from Lexington Christian Academy is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator or the Week @ChristianDShac1, @_Jakeryan63, @maja_brown19, @LCAEAGLESFB, @CoachDCharles, @Oakley_Watkins

June 27, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Christian Shackelford is built exactly like the “big boys” want to see him. He’s 6’7,” 290-pounds and sports a 3.8-GPA. Shackelford got six (6) games of run over his sophomore season and that isn’t too bad considering LCA had the most senior laden group of trench men in the KHSAA a year ago at any level of competition. There will be plenty of competition to fill some of these holes in ’25 resulting from the Spring ’24 commencement ceremonies. Enjoy this look at a ’27 who seems destined to grow into one of his graduating class’s very best offensive linemen before it is said and done. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.

Brayden Fultz is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week and looks like a big-league center to us @brayden_fultz36, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @NLJAGSFOOTBALL

June 20, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Brayden Fultz is a player who reports quite a bit of versatility, particularly on the Kentucky 5A level. Fultz reports playing guard, DE, DT, MLB, and FB. Of these positions we like him best at either guard, where he reports playing, and offensive center, where we think he should get a long look. We have talked to some recruiters who have asked us about him. At 6’0,” 290 with a 315-pound bench press, a quarter ton back squat (505), and a 255-pound power clean, this kid has the strength, power, and explosion programs covet at the center slot. The thing about offensive centers, they are in huge demand. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky!

Kam Wells, ’29 NG/OG, from Christian County High is the Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @CoachAtchley, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @ColonelFootball,

May 30, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Kam Wells is a beast whose frame can virtually finish anywhere. He is strong as a bull, wins the leverage game against about anyone, has tremendous leg kick and explosion, and elite strength and power. Wells will likely have to be deployed “both ways” this coming Fall even though he will be a freshman. We have seen freshmen start at really good programs and acquit themselves very, very well. What will Wells do? We would be surprised if he did anything less than dominate many of his mirrors over the course of his initial campaign. Enjoy this feature about a kid whose performance made the unbearable heat a tad more bearable and who hopes his performance brings comfort to the home fans around Christian County, KY this upcoming Fall. Let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky, and allow us to help you out in that regard.
