Has there ever been a KY RB number one in the nation?

I wish the kid nothing but the best. Hope he stays healthy

Don't think Kentucky has ever had a running back rated this highly.

Michael Bush was pretty highly rated as he made the Rivals100 back several years ago, however I can't think of any others since 2000 that have been as highly rated as those two.

Sean Alexander is the best back to ever come out of the Bluegrass, but I don't think he was as highly recruited as Bush or Harris.

Congrats huge accomplishment

Their game with Pulaski will be something to mark on your calendar. We may get a double dose of that game again next year.

Rightfully so.. he is a generational type of talent.

Eric Shelton from Bryan Station was ranked extremely high but don't think he was #1

Is UK looking at him?

Big accomplishment for Harris. 5A Region 4 will end up being a war between Pulaski and Harris & Madison Southern next year, it will be a good one for sure. Also notable is Eli Brown from Warren East, he made the Rivals 100 at #98, so congratulations to him as well.

Joe Casey from Tilighman back about 7 or 8 years ago was the USA Today player of the year. Too bad he didn't make it.

I would really like to watch this kid play ball. Hope there will be some ihigh games we can watch on the up coming season.

Chris Jones from Danville played in the late 70's was a Parade Magazine HS All American...

Joe Casey was on the USA Today 1st team. His running mate was Adrian Petterson

Great accomplishment and I'm very proud of him, but if he lives in Texas he's just an above average running back IN MY OPINION.

Have you ever been to Hyden, KY? The number one pick in the NFL draft came from Hyden, KY!!!!!!! Hyden, KY!!!!! Sometimes a great talent comes from a most unlikely place. This kid is legit.

If I am looking at this right there is not one player from Texas on this list.

I am happy for this young man, I have seen him play twice - he is a great back with great size, vision and speed, he is worthy of this honor.

What is also impressive is I hear that he is a very well grounded young man with a humble, team oriented disposition despite his indivual accolades. People say he is a great young man whose parents have raised right. Refreshing to see that in todays day and age, especially for high profile players.

Best wishes to you Damien, way to rep. Ky High School football!

Casey was a perfect example of the hype getting to a kid. He was an unbelievable player. I hope the Harris kid stays the course. I've watched him and Nacarius Fant chat on Twitter and he seems like a grounded young man.

Watch this and see what a fine young man Mr. Harris is!!!

Jeffry Dahmer seemed like nice young man when interviewed also. Interviews are meaningless, you are just saying stuff to get perception and cant say what you realy mean.

What douche bag you are. That's horrible to compare a great young man to a monster...you are a horrible person.
