There are good players on every roster in the commonwealth of Kentucky competing in the sport of football. Silas Sandusky is an example of this principle. If you look at the percentage of production he has contributed to his team’s bottom line in 2025, it is hard to believe he was only a sophomore. Sandusky is the kind of kid this publication exists to find and feature. If we don’t tell you about him, the chances his story will ever be heard is exceedingly remote. You’re welcome.

We heard a player described by a coach who had offered him as a “Football Playing Jesse.” We looked that term up and, what do you know, it really is a thing. A “Football Playing Jesse” is a guy who may not be the right frame, may be a tad small, or a tad slow, or whatever but is just a guy who “does it” when he gets o the field between the lines and under the lights. Today we feature a kid who is as Football Playing of a Jesse as any kid in the KHSAA. Enjoy this look at one of the best football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has competition at any level of competition.

West Jessamine has a ‘Bird-Dawg’ in its lineup… @Aspirationsgym, @NashBird24, @WJCOLTSFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

The Everly brothers told us “Johnny [was] a Joker (He’s a bird)/ A very funny joker (He’s a bird)… What they would have told us, were they still with us, is that Johnny isn’t the only Bird. Nash Bird is a “Bird” and a very smooth and not so funny weapon for whom to have to game plan if you are playing Coach Scott Marsh’s football team. Bird had a huge junior year and was a player who should have been on our Large School All-State Football Team. What can we tell you? We missed. We have our eyes on him now and if he continues to play his senior season the way he played in ’25, I wouldn’t count on us missing him a second time. Enjoy this feature.

’27 PK, Jayleigh Campbell, from the Christian County Tigers is the Lasaters Coffee & Tea Wake Up and Smell the Coffee Player of the Week @KatherineL58069, @coachclsmit, @ChiefSmoke10, @LasatersCoffee, @bigassfans, @CoachJEzell, @eCampusdotcom, @HenryMi74881410, @HopHighTigers, @FC_FALCONS_FB

I once heard having an accomplished place kicker in the fold likened to finding a $20.00 bill in your dry cleaning. You may not know you even need $20.00 but it comes in handy when you are both hungry and thirsty and you find what you need just sitting in your pocket. Jayleigh Campbell is not just an accomplished placekicker who converted just over 81% of her PATs (9 for 11) but she is a a junior who should compete for the job at the newly consolidated high school. It must be something to realize your kicking game is so competently handled and looks to remain so for the foreseeable future. Congratulations to Jayleigh Campbell for being our ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (or Tea)’ Player of the Week from Lasaters Coffee & Tea where you are more than served, you are loved!

Kylan Combs from Breathitt has taken the long way home @combs_kory, @Elithomas1219, @BreathittFb, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom

January 17, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

Among my favorite groups in the seventies was the group “Supertramp.” They had a wonderful song entitled, “Take the Long Way Home” released in 1979. Kylan Combs knows all about taking the long way to anywhere. Combs’s home is on a football field, positioned at safety, or anywhere on a gridiron actually. You see, Kylan Combs is a “Combs.” In the Appalachias, you don’t have to say any more. We fully understand the level of citizenship that surname requires and signifies and the football playing effort and talent associated with that particular family throughout the region. Kylan Combs has taken the long way home to stardom in Breathitt’s defensive third level once again and has made another of our Small School All-State Football Teams (Big Ass Fans) and we are mighty glad to welcome him home. Enjoy the article.

Kellan Hall from Christian Academy-Louisville is a five (5) star prospect in several different ways @KellanHbigdawg, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @THunterCantwell, @centurions_fb

January 16, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

It happens every year. Every year we have some players we omit from our All-State football team we shouldn’t have. No one is perfect. Hall is a guy who has an enviable frame and works, offseason, with an outfit which knows plenty about getting kids prepared to star at the collegiate level. Kellan Hall is one of the better framed out kids at his position in KY and already being touted among the commonwealth’s very best at his position. Get this, he also plays for one of the commonwealth’s very best teams with some of its deepest reservoir of playing talent. Enjoy the feature and let’s keep it comfortable out there, Kentucky!

Brady Hull from Pulaski County is a big man readying for a Huge Performance @BradyHull1, @bigassfans, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @coachtaburns, @PCHSFB

January 10, 2026 Fletcher Long 2

For those of you who actually follow this game, the name “Brady Hull” is not unfamiliar to you. Truth is, Hull has been considered among the very best trenchman since arriving in the 9th grade from a tremendously ballyhooed middle school career. The fact Hull has rounded into a high school star with dozens of D1 offers is a surprise to exactly no one. His senior year is upcoming and this offseason is critical for him to continue to develop into the type of player he wants and strives to be. This kid has very good length more than making up for his being on the slight side, size wise. Enjoy this look at the KHSAA’s top rated OL in the ’27 class.

Jamaal Haskins, ’29 ATH, from W.E.B. DuBois Academy is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator of the Week @bigassfans, @KyHighFootball, @khsaafootball, @LemmingReport,

January 9, 2026 Fletcher Long 0

There are quite a few freshmen who made considerable contributions to the ball club this past season. Jamaal Haskins was certainly among their number. Haskins is a long, explosive, quick-twitch athlete who promises to contribute prodigious contributions going forward for the DuBois Academy program. DuBois is an up and coming outfit and there aren’t too many around the Derby City struggling to envision the Lions getting in the thick of the 2A championship race going forward. Enjoy this look at one of the best freshmen football players the commonwealth of Kentucky has produced over the last few seasons and a player from whom you will definitely hear in the near future.
