Top 2010 prospects
OK, so signing day is over and we're ready to move on.
Here's a quick look at my top 10 high school football players across the state in the Class of 2010. I am listing these guys as far as college potential.
1. Tim Patterson (photo), Central, Linebacker, 6-5, 225 - Has the potential to be one of the biggest recruits to come out of the state in a long, long time. Louisville, Kentucky and Indiana have all offered, but USC, Florida and Florida State are among the schools that have called.
2. Austin Collinsworth, Highlands, WR/DB, 6-1, 180 - He has the name (son of former Bengals wide receiver Cris Collinsworth) and has the game.
3. Tate Nichols, Ryle, TE, 6-7, 225 - He already has five offers and has the frame to move to offensive tackle at the next level.
4. Miles Simpson, Simon Kenton, RB/LB, 6-2, 180 - Simpson put up a lot of yards as a junior and is also solid on defense.
5. Stephan Robinson, Central, WR, 5-9, 165 - He's fast, fast, fast. Another in a long line of standout players at Central.
6. Tyrrell Willis, Calloway County, RB, 6-3, 235 - He's athletic and he's a bruiser.
7. Antonio Andrews, Fort Campbell, QB, 6-0, 175 - He's a good enough athlete to find a position at the next level.
8. Harris Biven, Apollo, DT, 6-4, 290 - The best lineman in the state in this class.
9. Neil Wilson, Monroe County, WR, 6-2, 185 - A big athletic traget with good hands.
10. Quan Weaver, Frankfort, Athlete, 5-11, 175 - Ran for more than 2,000 yards as a junior.
Top sleeper: Bryan Hynes, Fern Creek, QB, 6-6, 190 - Big, tall quarterback has a gun for an arm and has been timed in 4.6 40-yard dash.
Not too far off the list:
Aaron Watts, McCreary Central, Athlete; Brandon Roller, Highlands, LB; Kevin Connaughton, Covington Catholic, OL; Channing Fugate, Breathitt County, RB; VaShaun Banks, Christian County, Athlete; Charles Quainoo, Boone County; RB; Nick West, Conner, QB; Burt Mingey, Lafayette, OL (6-9, 330); Jacob Russell, Anderson County, QB; Ryan Moses, Williamsburg, QB; Troy Turner, Fort Campbell, RB/LB; Aaron Nance, Seneca, WR; Jermiah Neal, St. Xavier, RB; Eric Shaw, Lafayette, Athlete; Dominique Hayden, Lexington Christian, RB; Lucas Witt, Lexington Christian, QB; Lance Turpin, Taylor County, QB; Robert Bell, Clark County, OL-DL; Bobby Neal, Woodford Conty, TE/LB; Jordan Hansel, Simon Kenton, OL; Jordan Amis, Perry County Central, QB; Randon Collett, Leslie County, DT; Chris Muse, Pulaski County, Athlete.
Special teams mention:
Nick Robertson, Trinity, K/P, 6-5, 180 - Ohio State has been in touch on Robertson
Barksdale to UT-Martin
Bowling Green High School football coach Kevin Wallace said tonight that running back Tevin Barksdale has signed with Tennessee-Martin.
As a senior, Barksdale ran for 1,397 yards and 24 touchdowns. He also caught three touchdown passes and his 170 points was the second most ever scored in the 87-year history of the school.
For his career, Barksdale ran for 2,501 yards and 50 TDs.
