Additional info

Brad West from Trinity is a shifty, tough back...probably goes about 5'10", 175. He will be a senior next year. I like him a lot.

Harold Hogg - Apollo

Q'Darius McHenry - Ohio County

Treyveon Longmire - Corbin

6'2" 170 lbs.

Offers from Florida St., UK, UofL, Purdue, WV, Tennessee, Western Michigan.

 

I haven't seen the kid play, but his offer list is pretty impressive. He wasn't listed on the 2019 stat leaders for RBs, was he injured?

Jymarrie Johnson at Louisville Atherton is a unknown that can really be something special.

6' 2" 235

-Hard working young MAN

-Basketball player

-Down hill runner that will surprise you with his speed

 

If Atherton has a winning record next season this guy will be a big part of it.

That is some good size. Best of luck to him.

Jymarrie (Jaguar) Johnson - Hudl

 

Only 5 games last year but still exciting to watch.

 

By the way..... will be a Junior this upcoming season.

He missed a couple games but he’s more of an ATH. Can be moved around. Most teams recruiting him are doing so to play corner.

Isaac Dixon- Belfry

James Johnson- DeSales

Apollo's Harold Hogg had 2,100+ yards rushing last year.

Issac Dixon. Dude is player!!

James Johnson- DeSales

 

That was a great game between those two teams and running backs in the playoffs last yr.

Will McDaniel 6'0" 190 leading rusher for Boyle County last year. A special running back that can catch the ball and a top defender at outside linebacker. One of the top 2-way players in the state.

JaWaun Northington, Manual HS, Junior to be.

Rushed for 1036 yds and 20 touchdowns on 116 carries last season.

He will get the bulk of the carries this coming season. Give this kid 25+ carries a game and he may rush for 2500 yards and 30 touchdowns.
