’24 dual-threat QB should be getting plenty of ‘shine’ Tucker Warren is a dual-threat QB who both ran and threw for over a thousand yards over his junior season. Tucker has the Jaguars poised for success as the team finished 6-6 a year ago in 5A which included a game […]

Max Vanderkooi, from North Laurel, should hit the field early @max_vanderkooi @CoachDCharles @BoysGirls13th @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @HopkinsCentral @evans02_mike @_CoachManning @KYFUTRESTARS

Max Vanderkooi is as good of an offensive center prospect as there is in the ’27 class of Kentucky prospects. He is an example of the steps we regularly take to ensure our database contains the best talent in the commonwealth before you have even heard of them. It is our duty, and one we take seriously. Enjoy this look at a young football playing stud who will hit the field quickly this coming Fall. FL.

Austin Johnson from North Laurel…they call him The Freak! @A_john50 @athletics_nlhsn @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @BoysGirls13th @minguabeefjerky @HopkinsCentral @_CoachManning @evans02_mike @kyhighs @HLpreps @PrepSpin @1776Bank

Austin Johnson is a freak. That’s what they call him around London, Kentucky’s North Laurel High, “The Freak.” When you get a load of what he can do on the field and even in the weight room, that Nomme de Guerre will make a lot more sense to you. Enjoy the feature. FL.

Zachary Philpot, ’26, from North Laurel High is the type of framed-out prospect and talent which has people fired up around London, Kentucky… @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @zleeboy54 @kyhighs @HLPreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @NLJAGSFOOTBALLZ

We have been featuring quite a few young ball players from London, KY’s North Laurel High. Some of you may be wondering why? It isn’t as if the Jaguars have been owning the 5A classification (6-6 in ’22). However, this team has some really nice talent coming down the pipelines and their days of hanging around .500 seems numbered. HB.

Ethan Gregory (’24), transfer from Corbin, had a breakthrough year at North Laurel… @Egregory3222 @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @teeroyhowell @kyhighs @HLPreps @minguabeefjerky @1776Bank @PrepSpin

This kid has been on our radar a while and he has improved and gained in prowess over the years. He prepped this past Fall at North Laurel where he was a leader on the team in many different, statistical categories of importance. We believe him to be solidly a college running back, we just need to find him the right home. Enjoy the article. HB.

RB, Ethan Gregory (’24), from North Laurel is blazing a difficult trail for future backs to follow. @NLJAGSFOOTBALL @Egregory3222 @minguabeefjerky @KyHighFootball @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @1776Bank @BoysGirls13th @CoachDerekDay

It is the midway point of the ’22 season. This is a junior RB we forecast would have a big year back before the season commenced. It is time for us to take stock of this prediction. Well, Gregory hasn’t let us down in the least. He is having a wonderful season and, should he keep it up, looks poised to take the Jaguars to unprecedented heights as a football program. Enjoy the feature. HB.
