[LC99]

Congrats...I hope he makes it on the actual roster. Hard life for a walk-on, but if he's got the kind of "heart" everyone at LC says he does, he'll make it.

BUT...as good an athlete as he is, does ANYBODY outside of Knox County really believe this kid is going to end up competing for playing time against athletes like Keenan Burton at WIDE RECEIVER? I know he looked phenomenal at LC, but that was against PINEVILLE, ***BERLAND, etc. Will be a little different up against Auburn and Florida.

I see FULLBACK in his future there possibly. MAYBE middle linebacker. Tough, hard-nosed kids with above-average athletic ability, who can get quite a bit BIGGER and still run can make it at those spots (see Nebraska in the 80s and 90s).

Jimmy Chaffin looked phenomenal against any team he lined up against. This past year against Somerset who was a state semi-finalist, Chaffin had close to 400 yards of total offense. Chaffin had big game against top ten 2A Leslie County, also the team that knocked them out of the playoffs Sheldon Clark, 2A power Middlesboro, and 4A Whitley County, playing a huge role in LC beating the Red Storm for the first time in 15 years. As a Sophomore Chaffin in the regional championship game against Pikeville, had over 100 yards passing and rushing 50 yards receiving at int on defense. Chaffin is a dedicated person, he worked his tail off last off season to better himself, and I'm sure the same for this off season. Just because who he plays doesn't mean he can't play at the D1 level. Class A district 7 also saw Durrell White of Middlesboro, and George Massey of ***berland in recent years play at UK, and both play quite of bit. Nolan DeVaughn of Corbin was the starting center of UK when they went to the Outback Bowl. If Jimmy sets his mind to it, he will seeing playing time at UK before he is done.
