DevilMayCare Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Last year was a banner year for pass catchers in Kentucky. Six different receivers reached the twenty touchdown mark in 2019, the second most we've ever had in a single season (1999). And that doesn't even include the biggest tight end recruit to ever come out of the bluegrass. From Reece Smith to Miles Thomas to Franklin Hayes to Michael Mayer, the bar was set incredibly high last year. Who will grab (pun intended!) our attention this year? Here are a few names to get us started... Reece Jesse - Hopkinsville 6'3", 180 lbs 2019: 67 receptions/1,184 yards/15 TDs Offers from UK, West Virginia, Tennessee, Purdue, and Washington State, among others Reece Jesse Junior Season - Reece Jesse highlights - Hudl Kade Grundy - Somerset 2019: 68 receptions/1,441 yards/15 TDs Committed to play baseball for Louisville Kade Grundy Junior Season - Kade Grundy highlights - Hudl Jordan Dingle (TE) - Bowling Green 6'4", 235 lbs 2019: 35 receptions/474 yards/5 TDs Offers from UK, UofL, Ohio State, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Purdue, among others 221 TE Jordan Dingle Highlights - Jordan Dingle highlights - Hudl Dane Key - Frederick Douglass 6'2", 170 2019: 33 receptions/545 yards/8 TDs Offers from UK, UofL, Tennessee, Oregon, Marshall, and WKU, among others Dane Key Sophomore season - Dane Key highlights - Hudl Fred Farrier - Franklin County 6'1", 170 lbs 2019: 45 receptions/794 yards/11 TDs Offers from Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Toledo, and Army, among others Junior Season ( Class of '21) - Fred Farrier II highlights - Hudl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrel Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Crowdus is back at Fredrick Douglas so I say “The Flash” would be on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrel Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Cam Patterson at Scott That’s a name a lot of people are going to get familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs4470 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 That’s a name a lot of people are going to get familiar with. Patterson is going to be a big time player. With his size, speed and ball skills, he’s almost impossible to cover. And he’s only a junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrosefStalin Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Brandon McClendon - Covington Holy Cross 5'10", 175 lbs 2019: 46 receptions/1118 yards/24.3 ypc/9 touchdowns/8 interceptions This young man may be the most underrated athlete I've seen this year. A speedy, strong slot receiver and outstanding defensive back. He put up some of the best numbers in the state while playing on undoubtedly one of the worst teams in the state. Freshman QB. Young, inexperienced line and he just got open and made tough catches all over the field. A WINNER. Scary to think what he could do playing on a complete team. He's going to make a lucky DI coach very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachAdler Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Anthony "Rooster" Woodard - Logan County [ 6'3 180lbs 44 rec, 818 yards, 14 tds in 9 games. Offers from EKU & Missouri St. so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky11 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Wouldn't this be for the class of 2021? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpride94 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Michael Duddy- St. Xavier 6”3 180 20 receptions, 646 yards, 5 tds 32 yd avg per catch Did this as sophmore last year and I expect these numbers to improve as Junior this coming season.

We might as well throw Mekhi Smith in the mix as well. He and Duddy give St. X fans a lot to look forward to over the next couple of years.

You're correct, @barrel. These threads are for the best players at each position for the 2020 season, regardless of what grade they're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMayCare Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yes, Mekhi maybe moving to QB. They used him there some at end of last season. I've never seen him play the QB position, but if Kevin Wallace wants him behind center, then it's probably the right move to make. Either way, the Tigers will have two very talented, skilled young athletes on the field together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneblitz2 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Braden Mundy- Owensboro Catholic Had over 1000 yards receiving as a Sophomore and was 3rd on team in targets. Look for that number to be way up this year. Trayvon Tinsley- Owensboro Lead OHS in receiving yards last year. With a Junior Gavin Wimsatt next year expect Tinsley's numbers to go way up as well!
