Philpot is 6’4,” 300-pounds, can bench press 335, squat 485, and deadlift 525. Philpot pops off 40-yard dashes in 5.5-seconds and blows through a “flying 10″ in 1.68.

Sometimes a player’s maturation lags behind the player’s frame. This is often true of young bigs who take some time to agile their way into their incredibly large, tall, and long frames. Peyton Collins has a frame which commands respect. With his nearly 7-foot wingspan, 6’7″ of height, and 280-pounds of heft, this guy figures to be among the more recruited linemen in the ’26 graduating class before all is said and done. We are looking for his PT to increase substantially this coming Fall. When his “man muscles and agility” arrives, look out! Friday Night Fletch.

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.
