Elite football programs execute in all three phases of football. We feature plenty of offensive and defensive players. We tend to feature kickers and punters. We sometimes forget about the snappers and the holders. Today, we feature a long-snapper from LCA who is a man’s man. Shake his hand and make this discovery. He is instrumental to the Eagles’ on-field success. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Jaylen Bradley from Glasgow High set to explode onto the scene his junior year @JaylenBradley22, @jax_arnett, @minguabeefjerky, @bigassfans, @GHSScottieSport

February 4, 2025 Fletcher Long 0

Jaylen Bradley just finished his sophomore season playing for one of the more prestigious programs in Kentucky. Bradley caught 12-balls for 273-yards and three (3) TDs on offense and registered 16-tackles, two (2) INTs in his 11-games of run. Jackson Arnett is the new sheriff in a town which has won 690-all time football games. What is our prediction for both Bradley and his “Scotties?” Success…

Aiden Jesse is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly for a team which has struggled as mightily as have the Colonels. Jesse is also impressing the right people as recruiting interest in him is heightening. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with a college program, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered that prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Some call him “Mario.” Some just call him “Rio.” All call him special. Litmer is the QB for one of the most high profile programs in Kentucky 5A or at any classification if we are being honest. Litmer is 6’0,” weighs 176-pounds and, at only 16-years of age, completed over 68% of his passing attempts his junior season and finished with a QBR of 128.1. Highlands won 11-games in ’24, made the semis, and have a vital piece back for another run in ’25. Who knows how far this “Mr. Football” candidate can take them.

Baron Hardesty is putting up prodigious numbers, particularly in the weight room. He is also impressing all the right people. This is a prospect who we could see signing with any team at virtually any level of competition. If this kid can’t catch on with an FBS level team, then the NIL and transfer portal has rendered the prospect unattainable. Enjoy this feature and remember to #SavorTheFlavor.

Sometimes we get excited about an article and decide to publish it early. This next article is one which usually runs on Wednesdays but we are running it on Tuesday afternoon. Enjoy this look at a freshman linebacker so good he made the Big Ass Fans, Large School All-State defense this season. No telling what the future holds for this prospect.

Brady Atwell is firmly in the hunt for Kentucky’s “Mr. Football.” His uncle won the distinction in 1999 and playing at a level (Class A) which hasn’t boaster too many winners. Brady has a tough road to haul with Beechwood coming to Lexington seeking the same distinction as the Catholic club.

Chase Flaherty is a baseball and football star at Beechwood High. Flaherty has been convincing this season as an all-state caliber running back as well as contributing on the defensive side of the football. Flaherty has this 17-time, KHSAA football champion firing on all cylinders as the season unwinds. Enjoy this feature and remember to both stop and smell the roses and #SavorTheFlavor.

Braxton Jennings is among the highest regarded and recruited ’25 prospects in the KHSAA. He is also among its better kept secrets. Jennings has led his Tomcats to a 9-1 mark, entering the 4A playoffs, and Ashland has yet to lose a game to a Kentucky high school on the year. What will they do in these upcoming playoffs? Well I can tell you this, they will be heard from, and so will Mr. Jennings.

We don’t always recognize place-kickers with the frequency the position is due. So many times these place kickers win the game for the team and rarely get any kudos. This past Friday night, Kentucky Country Day beat the top-ranked 1A team in Campbellsville. The margin? Two PATs converted by today’s Protein-packed Performance, Colt Mizuguchi.
