One of the things we notice first about a young big, like Silas Kennedy (6’4,” 275-pounds, ’28) are his feet. This kid has excellent feet and sink to go along with find height and good length. Kids with his frame are generally Division I, FBS football recruits. With his 4.25-GPA, he is a “take” at many, many levels and different leagues including a league called “The Ivy” or “The Ancient 8.” We don’t know where this kid will end up but we do expect him to populate the first string in ’26 and (potentially) on both sides of the scrimmage line (OT/DE). That defensive deployment should tell you all you need to know about his movement and quicks. This is a large, tall, long, explosive, “twitchy” kid who is a delight to know and the kind of kid you want on your roster. Enjoy the feature.

The Fairdale Bulldogs are among the better 5As yearly competing in KHSAA football around Louisville’s “Derby City.” Players and athletes like Rakale Johnson are a large reason why. Johnson is a 6’2,” 210-pounder who can play receiver, TE, RB, and OLB as well as contribute in a meaningful way to the special teams units. This kid has so much utility that he is also a 7.3-pts/7.3-rebounds a game guy in basketball. There are guys who can just do about anything you ask of them and Johnson certainly numbers among their ranks. Enjoy this look at a premier athlete/football player in the KHSAA entering the ’26 season, his senior campaign.
