He is not a sleeper by any means. Having seen him play the past 3 seasons, I can tell you that NOONE will go to sleep on this kid. He and Howard will be 2 of the most electric players to watch in the mountains for 2006! Anybody who thinks they are a sleeper hasn't been paying attention!!!

 

True

Hopkinsville has some kids that could move into this category IF their willing to put in the time. Maturity goes along in the game of football and if these kids could grow and take the game a little more serious and listen to their coaches then there's no reason why they can't be the playmakers they think they are.

 

Cardell McGregor (FB/LB) 6'0 180 Took over the FS spot last year in week 7 but this year will be moved up to LB. Aggressive player with speed and explosiveness. As a FB he is a 700-1,000 yard guy. Coule be more but Hoptown has Emanuel Taylor. But McGregor gives them a threat at FB which they didn't have last year. Good lead blocker and the ability and speed for the long runs.

 

Brandon Ethridge (WR/DB/ATH) 5'10 175 Maybe the fastest kid in the school. Another one that missed last year after breaking a bone in his foot in a scrimmage. Great speed with descent hands could be a good CB in the end. 2003 Ethridge beat Curtis Pulley in a foot race in front of the team after practice. Could be a threat as a WR and definitely as a return guy.

 

Reggie Killebrew (OT/DT) 6'2 250 & T.J. Shephard (OT/DT) 6'3 240 Both of these kids have good upside. Both are descent athletes and are also on the Hoptown basketball team. They could take an undersized O-Line to the next level. Good hand and feet coordination but both lack that consistent work ethic required to take their games up to level it needs to be.
