Jr. Bryce Pugh for Leslie County is the most underrated linebacker in Ky.  The lack of media presence in the mountains really hurts this kid. On KHSAA website, his defense numbers are off the charts, including an amazing 19 Tackles for Loss in 4 games. That leads State in all divisions. 5.5 sacks. That shows he plays downhill the whole time!

As a Leslie County fan, I am inclined to agree. 

To another point you mention, media coverage in the mountains is terrible in most places as far representing the student athletes in the region. With that being said, LC has never done a very good job of promoting their kids or getting them exposure to college coaches. Leslie has had a few kids play college football over the last 10-15 years (Ethan Horton- University of Louisville , Blake Bray- UPIKE, Jon Brewer won a national championship as a defensive lineman at The Cumberlands if I remember correctly, not to mention there are several former Eagles on the current roster at Union) but there are a number of other kids that probably could have made a college roster and just did not get any exposure. 


I understand that everyone can't play college ball (There simply isn't enough roster space regardless of talent) but that doesn't make it any less disappointing to see.
