Jalen Dantzler is either the best athlete in the high school game in Kentucky or certainly among them. This kid, frankly, has shown this offseason a penchant for doing physical things other kids just can’t. This kid is running the 40 in under 4.4-seconds, shuttling in the low 4.2’s, broad jumping close to 11-feet, all while standing a minimus of 6’2,” with a long reach and lengthy frame which may even add an inch or two before it is all said and done. This kid had a dynamite junior season for the Yellow Jackets and figures to add a senior year for the story books. At the end of the day, Jalen Dantzler is a high end, Division I backend guy with all the physical attributes and characteristics coveted by the “Big Boys.” Enjoy the feature.

Phillip Baker, Jr., QB from Central High (Lou.) is the Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @CHSJacketFB, @JrPhillip19269, @BOTMWCombine, @1_McKay_2, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

Central High has quite the football tradition. From William Keane to Ty Scroggins to Marvin Dantzler, the Yellow Jackets are seemingly always in the title hunt in 3A, KHSAA football. The Jackets had a down year in ’25 and Dantzler decided to move along (volitionally) and now Coach McKay gets his turn in the batter’s box and at the helm of one of Kentucky’s more athletic rosters. Having a QB returning who is steady, athletic, and super smart (like Phillip Baker, Jr.) should prove a huge boon. Baker is a guy who figures to play either in the slot, as a return specialist, or even as a DB at the collegiate level. For now, this Big Ass Fans Kentucky Comfort Creator has to lead his mates back to the program’s customary position challenging for the 3A, Kentucky-wide, crown. Enjoy the feature.

The @BigAssFans, Small School (1A, 2A, & 3A) All-State Football Team

December 10, 2025 Fletcher Long 11

We will start out this all-state team with an admonition with which we begin every team we have ever published. We will miss on some guys. It is just important to note that your son not making out team doesn’t mean he wasn’t an all-state caliber player. Also, we expressly reserve the right to re-enter the team, even after it is published, and add worthy players who may have been missed or accidentally omitted. That being said, our small and large school All-State football teams, sponsored by Big Ass Fans, are the most expansive and complete teams in the business. This team here, and the coaches’s team published by the Courier Journal, are the only two legitimate teams in existence and we believe our team to be much more complete and legitimate than even theirs. Congratulations to the players who made the team and congratulations to the wonderful world of Kentucky high school football for providing us with the endless thrills and discussions we net from our following this, the greatest game on earth.

Friday Night Fletch.

KPGFootball’s Preseason Top-Five (3A) @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

It is that time of year. It is time to start figuring which teams, entering the ’25 season, figure to factor in the title chase. We have detailed what we think here and it is based on our study of the incoming, ’25 rosters, what players return, what players graduated, and other various factors we have perfected through the years to render such predictions. We plan to do this for all of Kentucky’s six (6) classifications and there is no guarantee we will go in order from the top down, or the bottom to the top. There are good football teams in the KHSAA and there are bad ones and those teams span all of the six classes. Enjoy today’s look at 3A. Keep checking back as we may drop another class any time we feel like it.

Marvin Dantzler has done it all from a stand point of coaching. He has won championships from Track & Field to football. He has trained plenty of tremendous athletes along the way. Add the name “Jalen Dantzler” to the list. Jalen is his son but he is much more than that. Jalen Dantzler is among the best DB prospects in the KHSAA’s class of 2027. He is a speedster who is athletic enough to be among the best long jumpers in the high school ranks. Dantzler is getting a ton of D-1 looks and we are flat looking and evaluating him too. Enjoy this feature and don’t forget to pick up some world famous jerky products from Mingua Beef Jerky and “SavorTheFlavor.”
