This list could get very long and be nowhere near exhaustive. Since you seem to begin with the mid to late 90's, that's where I'll start for you with Boyle. If any Rebel wants to correct or add to my list, feel free.

 

 

Boyle County

 

Neal Brown - UK ('97) (I'm assuming this is the last HS football season)

 

Bobby Leffew - UL ('99)

 

Taylor Begley - UK ('00)

 

Travis Leffew - UL ('00)

 

David Jennings - TCU ('02) (? Not positive)

 

Jacob Tamme - UK ('02)

 

Brodie Overstreet - Wake Forest ('02)

 

 

There were a host of others that played 1-AA, II, III ball but you only wanted the Division One Scholarship players and this is what I remembered.

[charlesw88]

Oh, I forgot to add Jordan Aumiller to the list. He is going to play football for the University of Kentucky this season.
