5. Reed Lanter (Jr, Boyle County) 181/263 - 2,597 yards - 28 TDs/4 ints. - State Champ in 2017

 

Nobody talks much about Lanter but the step he took from 2016 to 2017 was huge. He's a very good quarterback and should have a huge year in 2018.

He might not have the arm strength/talent that some of the other elite QBs possess, but he's extremely accurate, doesn't turn the ball over, and is blessed with the intangibles you just can't teach. With all of the talent around him at Boyle, he's set to have a great career there. He had a crazy good year last year, for a sophomore.

He missed four games last year for reasons I will not detail here.

 

Stat wise, he accounted for less than 125 yards (combined rushing and passing) and less than 1.5 touchdowns per game.

 

Taking stats into account and that CAL was still very good without him, that does NOT scream overall top five in the state.

 

He is tough as nails, though, when he is on the field.

 

I was told he was no longer on the team at CAL.

Here in Owensboro, we have two really solid college prospects. Daviess County's Joey Cambron and Owensboro's Will Warren.
