Aiden Blanton fast becoming a force with whom to reckon around the KHSAA @ABlanton03, @CentreFootball, @WJCOLTSFootball, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Not all of the great football players across the commonwealth of Kentucky have the greatest of frames. Aiden Blanton isn’t going to wow anyone with his stand-up size. However, this kid is all ball player and his strength/power numbers are right impressive. Blanton has plenty of speed (4.7-second, 40) and quicks (4.3-second, pro-agility shuttle) and is bouncy (34-inch vertical) to boot. We believe this kid will have a monster year upcoming similar to the hugely productive year he enjoyed in 2025. Enjoy this look at one of the better linebackers in the commonwealth of Kentucky a year ago and a player to be closely monitored in 2026.

Brandon Abren, Jr. has announced he will play his HS football for Kentucky Country Day. It is anticipated he will likely be competing for RB-1 reps for the “Bearcats” as early as this Fall. Two former all-staters are walking the graduation stage this Spring leaving a huge hole in that backfield that a stud like Abren could fill. We take a look at the situation and garner a guess about one of the candidates. Abren has the frame, physique, and athletic ability to take a run at the job. Opportunity is knocking, will Abren 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!

Rakale Johnson among the best athletes in 2027’s class in the Derby City/in the Bluegrass @rakalej_32, @CoachWatson9, @FHS_Dawgs_FB, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @eCampusdotcom, @coachdov, @bigassfans,

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.

Joseph Katz, 8th grade phenom on the varsity basketball roster, is the Lasaters Coffee & Tea Feature of the Week @FC_FALCONS_FB, @LasatersCoffee, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

March 24, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Joseph Katz brings something to the table programs desperately need, particularly programs competing at the 2A classification. Katz has a very versatile skill set with a variety of talents which lend itself well to playing multiple sports. Katz averaged over 6-points and 4-rebounds a game as an eighth grader playing varsity basketball at Fort Campbell High this winter. Basketball employs skills which lend naturally (and specifically) to playing football. Katz’s multi-faceted, athletic tool belt makes him more, not less, recruitable to colleges around the commonwealth. Enjoy this feature.

Isaiah Kiser from Letcher County Central may prove quite the addition to the varsity roster in the Fall @IsaiahKiser1199, @Chris_Sailer, @Prokickercom, @KohlsKicking, @LCC_Football, @LCCougarSports, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball

Quality programs don’t skimp on any of football’s three phases. You will find that is true of most of your “Big Time,” “Big Boy,” KHSAA football programs. That certainly explains Isaiah Kiser (’30). Kiser is a rising 9th-grade place-kicker who was sending kicks into the end zone and over the head of the deep man on the opponent’s kick return team as an eighth grader. That is called having a lithe leg. Kiser is a soccer player in addition to football. Kiser is a multi-faceted talent who makes a difference on a football team not always noticed by the casual fan. We are a long way from either casual or just a fan of KHSAA football. Enjoy the feature.

Preston Denton, ’31 BGJHS, setting southern Kentucky a blaze with his talent… @GrahamDenton14, @SOKYElite, @khsaafootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @KyHighFootball, @BGJHSFootball

We cut our teeth in this business covering middle school football. We moved up with our first set of middle school stars into covering the high school game and the rest is history, so to speak. When we write about a middle school kid we do it mostly out of a sense of nostalgia, out of a sense of paying homage to our beginnings. These Denton boys can ball. We featured the ’32 prospect, Graham Denton, in March of 2025, Now, a year later, we are featuring the Denton brother going into the 8th-grade at Bowling Green Junior High School (BGJHS). Preston is quite the prospect, like little brother and both of the Dentons spend tons of time sharpening their skills and technique, offseason, with the Southern Kentucky Elite. Enjoy the feature.

Jasiah McCarley hopes to prove he is the man for the job… @Jasiahmccarley, @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @eCampusdotcom, @coachclsmit, @ChiefSmoke10, @LasatersCoffee, @Ale8One, @HenryMi74881410, @HopHighTigers, @FC_FALCONS_FB

Jasiah McCarley emerged for Hoptown in its last competitive year and earned the job as QB-1. He led the Tigers to a seven win season and heading into the first season of the newly consolidated Christian County Tigers has to be considered the betting favorite to lead the new school from the same slot. I suppose we shall see. Congratulations to Jasiah McCarlery (’28) for being our ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea)’ Feature of the Week from Lasaters Coffee & Tea where you are more than served, you are loved!
