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.

Christopher Reed, Jr. has already made two Future Stars rosters. That should tell you about all you need to know about whether this player has a chance to see the field his freshman season playing at one of the better programs in Kentucky 5A. Enjoy this feature about an upcoming HS player we believe will see quite a bit of varsity run. HB.

This guy here is called Kaden ‘K-Dot’ Mack. He is also know as ‘K-Mack’ to some. He is an explosive and filthy-fast athlete who can break you down with his arm or his feet. We expect he will be on the Future Stars roster this coming Summer. Might ought to learn about him now. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Here is a kid who has been out in the working world and realizes that college degree changes his entire career arc. He is getting an opportunity to go to Barbourville, Kentucky and play for John Luttrell’s “Bulldogs.” Coach Chris Manning at Hopkins County Central has made it happen for him. That is the kind of man for whom I would want my son to play. HB.

Darion Cole from Louisville a Future Star? He appears to be a present one… @Darioncole9 @CoachYohn @Coach_Lockwood1 @WEBDuBoisATH @_DuboisFootball @minguabeefjerky @PrepSpin @kyhighs @HLpreps @1776Bank @MaxPreps

This kid literally has it all. It is very hard to evaluate 7th-graders but quicks and speed are things which can be somewhat evaluated, even in younger prospects. This player is elusive, catches the ball well, get’s down hill in a hurry, and has a nice long frame on him which belies tremendous growth potential. Enjoy the feature. HB.

Cade Sullivan, ‘The Berea Blast,’ may be the best athlete in the ’23 class… @1776Bank @minguabeefjerky @kyhighs @HLpreps @MaxPreps @PrepSpin @KyHighFootball @mshsfb_eagles @Mshs_Eagles_

We have followed Cade Sullivan since his being one of Kentucky’s finest coming out of its middle school ranks. He has been a superstar in HS too, just on a team which has struggled which impacts many players who find themselves so situated. This kid is drawing D-1 looks and has D-1 speed. We would call him an athlete. Read this article and let us know what you would call him. HB.

Markezz Hightower is probably the best RB in Kentucky in the ’26 class. He comes from a line of RB’s we have featured and who have also won MVP in the Kentucky-Tennessee Future Stars Classic. Markezz is the little brother of Jeriah Hightower, who we covered ad nauseam when he was a prep RB for the Maroons before his moving on to play for EKU.
