There are a lot of scholarship offers out on the table from all over the country for members of the Class of 2012 in the state of Kentucky.

And some are from college football powerhouses.

It’s a solid year for the state and in doing my rankings, I stayed with the same No. 1 prospects I had and that’s Dixie Heights quarterback Zeke Pike. The Auburn commitment had more than 30 offers when he committed to the defending national champions.

Here’s the top 25 in the class:

• 1. Zeke Pike, QB, Dixie Heights: He’s been at the top of the class for a while and in my opinion stays there for now.

• 2. Patrick Towles, QB, Highlands: Kentucky commitment is the grandson of Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Bunning and will compete in the prestigious Elite 11 camp.

• 3. Joe Manley, OL, Bowling Green: The 6-foot6, 300-pound Manley is a big-time prospect for the Purples.

• 4. Josh Harris, ATH, Mason County: Kentucky commit will do it all for Royals.

• 5. Anthony Wales, RB, Central: Could become state’s all-time leading rusher.

• 6. Mekale McKay, ATH, Moore: Best athlete in the class?

• 7. Travis Elliott, RB, Ryle: Hard-nosed runner committed to Western Kentucky.

• 8. Rob Lewis, OL-DL, Pulaski Southwestern: Really like the 6-5, 290-pound Lewis.

• 9. Jeremy Clark, DB, Madisonville: Big-time performer headed to Michigan.

• 10. Adam Wing, QB, Rowan County: Had committed to Marshall but is now committed to play basketball at Oklahoma State.

• 11. Vinny Miller, WR, Henry Clay (Cincinnati commitment)

• 12. Adam Reynolds, LB, Trinity

• 13. Thomas Chapman, DL, Manual (Kentucky commitment)

• 14. Daniel Ross, TE-DE, Jeffersontown

• 15. Joey Warburg, OL, Trinity

• 16. George Stone, LB, St. Xavier

• 17. Jalen Boyd, CB, Western

• 18. Drake Bruns, DB, Highlands (Cincinnati commitment)

• 19. Austin Sheehan, WR, Highlands (Kentucky walk-on commitment)

• 20. Tyler Combs, OL, Lawrence County (Marshall commitment)

• 21. Patrick Graffree, DE, Central Hardin (Kentucky commitment)

• 22. J.J. Jude, RB, Johnson Central

• 23. DeMichael Jackson, RB, Jeffersontown

• 24. Quintez Sutton, WR, Manual

• 25. J.D. Harmon, ATH, Paducah Tilghman

I bet I know which one you are referring to.....

[Stardust]

I'm just dumbfounded over the Zeke Pike love....

[Coachdad]

There are two manual players on there & neither one is Demontre Warr?????????

[Coachdad]

Warr has offers from UL UK & Illinois at least

[WildDawg]

Surprised Davenport from Bell County isn't on there.

[Cammando]

These rankings are for kids who have committed to, or have several solid offers from the college level... Not really an all-star team as such.. And I'm sure some kids with offers are not on the list..

[BellCoBobcats09]

Surprised Davenport from Bell County isn't on there.

I'm shocked. If Dudley was like some coaches, Davenports numbers would had been out of this world. I hope Mills let's him since it's his senior year.

I'm just dumbfounded over the Zeke Pike love....

Tape measure syndrome

[The Iceboxx]

ESPN has Towles ranked ahead of Pike, and Rivals is vise versa.

I believe that Wing and Wales should be moved up a couple of spots, and Thomas Chapman from manual is a 4* DL .

[The Iceboxx]

I Dont see how Davenport from Bell County isnt on this list.

[Coachdad]

Cmon now , Corey peters , mister cobble , Jamon brown ect weren't even 4 stars , cobble was 1st team all state back to back, Corey peters spurned auburn & Jamon brown was 1st team all- south & that's from a Florida publication ! Thomas chapman is a legit d1 player but not a 4 star

[Coachdad]

I Dont see how Davenport from Bell County isnt on this list.

Who are his d1 offers from ?

Totally agree. I defintely know which one that you are talking about.
