This Jeremiah [the one named ‘Burbage’] ain’t no bullfrog, but he is a darn fine football player and our @eCampusdotcom Big Man on the eCampus @cornell_burbage, @JeremiahBurbage, @Oakley_Watkins, @Aspirationsgym, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball, @bigassfans

🎶Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine...🎶
Hoyt Axton, "Joy to the World" by
"Three Dog Night," 1970

I have always been a big fan of the song “Joy to the World” by “Three Dog Night.” That song begins telling us a story about a bullfrog named “Jeremiah” who was the lyricist’s good friend and (apparently) drinking companion. We are sure those lyrics are some sort of code. We don’t really care to learn of what, we just like the song. This particular “Jeremiah,” the WR/Corner and not the Bullfrog, is surnamed “Burbage” and he is a freaking football player. He’s a very good player and someone who brings tremendous Joy to the Eagles’s World. Enjoy this feature.

HB Lyon, Chief Scout, “KPGFootball”

eCampus.com was built on a simple idea: make textbooks affordable, convenient, and accessible for every student. Founded in 1999 in Lexington, KY and backed by visionary investors like Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, the company has grown into a premier online textbook retailer for high school and college students nationwide.

Their mission has always been supporting student success both on and off the field through affordable access to the course materials they need. eCampus.com is excited to invest in our student-athletes through Kentucky Prep Gridiron (KPGFootball) which was founded to promote and assist young high school football players get promoted to “next level,” college football opportunities.

That is why eCampus.com sponsors the KPGFootball, Big Man on the eCampus series. This week’s Big Man on the eCampus is Jeremiah Burbage. One reason we are featuring him here is Burbage is another Eagle who could have made the Small School All-State Football Team and just missed.

Perhaps he should have made it. No all-state team is flawless.

Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) perennially competes for KHSAA championships at its level of play. Players developing into stars, like Jeremiah Burbage, have a ton to do with any football program’s success.

Small School All-State Reveal Show

Lexington, KY: There is no secret how LCA scaled to the top of the mountain top in 2025. The roster was laden with talent sufficient to keep the Eagles in the race this season and, seemingly, for several years to come.

There is no class at LCA more laden with talent than the ’28s. Matthew Montgomery is among the elite OL in the entire commonwealth, Nash Whelan is too at QB, Nicholas Greer is among the elites in his class along the OL, Dawson Farmer got plenty of run in ’25, Thomas Sizemore also got plenty of PT.

Jeremiah Burbage’s performance sizes up well with anyones. First of all, Burbage is a versatile kid who contributes all over the field for the Eagles in a variety of phases.

You guys know how much we prize versatility and that trait is quintessential at the 2A level no matter how well stocked your roster happens to be. If you don’t know this about us, you might should read us more frequently.

Burbage has an enviable frame. At 6’1,” 175-lbs., Burbage has good height and long appendages which give him admirable length, prized attributes for both corner and WR. Burbage also has long fingers and big hands which dwarf the football and make it an easier catch for him than it would be for others.

Burbage had quite a bit of two-way production in the championship run. On offense, Burbage snagged 13-balls for 275-yards and three (3) TDs. Burbage was among the leaders in scoring.

On defense, Burbage registered 24-tackles, a FR, a pair of FFs, 15-passes broken up (PBUs), while permitting only six (6) receptions the entire season. We call that a lock down corner from where I come.

The Eagles were 13-2 in 2025. The Eagles played 6A, North Hardin; 4A finalists Boyle County and Franklin County; 3A state champion, Christian Academy-Louisville (CAL); and 3A contender, Lexington Catholic.

Burbage was an integral part of both the down field passing game and the pass-defense. That is a ton of versatility. That is a ton of production.

Burbage is in the midst of a big-time offseason for his future recruitment and development. Most players in HS experience their most drastic improvement and development between the sophomore and junior years.

That is a scary thing to contemplate. LCA’s sophomores seemed pretty far along, both physically and in terms of game-play, this past season.

To think they will be markedly improved next season gives the fans hope for a repeat, 2A title. Don’t get against the Eagles, is the best advice I can offer.

Perhaps one of the more impressive things about Burbage is the 4.07-GPA he carries. This is even more impressive considering LCA’s curriculum is among the more challenging in the commonwealth at the secondary level.

For now Burbage is one of the best ’28s on a roster packed with talent in that graduating class. By the way, Burbage is an elite player, Commonwealth-wide; another LCA characteristic we are seeing in droves these days.

Join us next week as we honor another eCampus.com, Big Man on the eCampus, furthering our offseason coverage. Until then, from any classroom to every field, eCampus.com delivers an easy, fast, and affordable way to order textbooks for students everywhere.
