Freshman CB Vito Tisdale has picked up his first offer from Austin Peay. Informed by tweet from Coach Wallace. Very well deserved from an outstanding athlete.

 

Vito Tisdale is the brother of former BG running back, Blue Tisdale. He was also the MVP of the Middle School Army All-American Bowl in Texas last year.

 

Bright future ahead for this young man.

Vito gets his first offer from Austin Peay University. Great honor for the freshman. Everyone knows this will not be only offer but many yet to come.

 

Bluegrass Prepsters know I have tooted this kids horn for 3 years now. Quite frankly, I think he has potential to be not only the Purples best player to come through but best player in all of Warren County to ever come through.

 

My reasoning:

No 6th grader or 7th grader that I know of has ever been the star player on the 8th grade team. Think about it. Lots of good talent in Purple land and for 3 years in a row he was on the 8th grade team and was best player on the team. All 3 years!

 

2 time middle school allstar in San Antonio Army game. As 8th grader was named to top 5 all american middle school players, finishing 2nd in voting. 2nd of all middle school football players!

 

First frosh to start at BG in long time.

 

Here is the question that has many people in BG interested in. What do you do with Vito next season? As a freshman this year he is playing defensive back. Even with Justice Dingle (Jr that has SEC offers) Vito is still shining. No one hits harder than this kid. Chances are in college he is used on Defense.

 

HOWEVER, He is unstoppable as a running back. No way he runs ball this season (he would be 1,000 yard rusher right now). As an 8th grader rushed for nearly 2,100 yards (2,100!). He ran for 20.7 yards a carry! The reason he doesnt get the rock is because of Mr. Caruthers has already paid his dues and should secure scoring record for BG this season (and hopefully, Mr football). I respect Coach Wallace for this.

 

So, where does he play next season. I guess it really doesnt matter. He will be best player on either side of ball.

 

Im a little old school. Put the ball in the hands of your best playmaker. That would be Vito

 

All that to say, congrats young man. Keep your nose clean and your grades up. Before his Jr season is complete I believe he will have multiple offers from all big boy schools.

 

I know he is lights out on Defense but you gotta give him the rock next season!

I know he's a great player.

 

Heard he was basketball first?

 

On a side note...the state of KY 2020 class is LOADED.

Far as I know he is football first and basketball second. He should excel in both sports.

Let him play both ways

Man, WKU needs to get in the ballgame on him! Have a feeling it won't do much good as it sounds like he's headed to a big time program. Look forward to seeing him the next several years.

Agree! WKU should have been his first offer!

Proud moment for our family.

Vito Tisdale is the brother of former BG running back, Blue Tisdale.

 

Where is Blue now?

I'm sure this will be one of many for Vito.

 

I always liked his brother, Blue; thought he was best athlete in his class at BG.

Blue Tisdale was always at his best in big games. After four career games against quality competition, it looks like Vito may have that trait as well. Vito is deserving of the accolades of what he "can be" but still has a lot of ground to cover to match or surpass the career of his brother.

As mentioned earlier, Vito not getting many touches this year because of Mr Caruthers.

 

He has touched the ball 4 times in the first 5 games

 

vs John Hardin 1 rush for 34 yards

vs Owensboro INT 40 yard TD

vs Warren Central Kickoff return 89 yd TD

Warren Central 1 rush 64 yards TD

 

3 TDs in 4 touches.

 

He aint done!

Vito was offered by the University of Kentucky tonight, according to his Twitter.

Isn't Vito a legacy?

Isn't Vito a legacy?

Yes. His father was also a RB at BG. Big V from Nappy Roots fame is his father. Blue Tisdale is his brother.
