Now we have talked about a lot of players but another one is the receiver from Male, now he is behind Smith in receptions and yards. But he also won a state championship last year and probably this year, he is a UK commit and he is from Louisville which helps. They also play a tough schedule. Now FoSho you know I want Jackson Hensley to win it but if he don’t I love him just the same. Good luck to all these young men all are great athletes and cases can be made for them all, just glad I am not one of the people who have to make that decision.

Cummings is a great kid from an awesome family. 👍🏻

I've heard the same about Hensley. 👍🏻

[Hound05]

Cummings and Hensley both are great players. I’ve seen more of Hensley than I have Cummings. Hensley is an amazing player. Looks to be very smart and athletic. The sad thing for both of them in this is brand. That’s no fault of theirs. Both have made major impacts on their teams. You’d think Cummings would have a little bit more attention going to UK, and maybe he does around loserville.

Maybe he should be...season and career stats?

Yeah. Fill us in. That’s what this thread is about. Getting these kids names out there and on people’s radar to watch for.

Did not impress me. Only saw him once but was lazy player did not do much.

I'm very curious to know which game(s) you watched that led you to decide that Michael Mayer is a lazy football player.

I would say he should be in the conversation, Top 5.

What has his teams done in the playoffs? Does he play D?

[Diogenes]

Ryley Preece from Johnson Central. Amazing QB, runs a complicated offense without hesitation as well as anyone I have seen. Usually the best athlete on the field. And a great DB. The numbers won’t wow you, but the football IQ is off the charts.

If playoff performances are to be taken into consideration, then Wandale Robinson had no business ever getting a sniff at the award. :eyeroll:

Regardless, McCracken has been 2-3 in the playoffs in the last 3 years. Hayes has played some defense. I've not seen him in person (simply providing stats), but it appears from his numbers that he either has seen a scant amount of time on defense, or hasn't really been much of a defensive presence if he's spent any notable amount of time in the game. He has 11 career tackles and 3 fumble recoveries.

[Diogenes]

Never mind.

I would say that WanDale is on a completely different level and talent.

But post season success would definetly come into consideration for some voters and I was just curious if he had any other intangibles that would enhance his profile.

It’s all about the numbers. Nothing else matters. Oh and signing with UK

Great list.

I'd like to see what the QBs win/loss records are too. I know Lanter has a state title and the MVP of the game. I believe his record is 37-2 as a starter.

Stinson has to have a great record too.
