Clyde Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Kentucky's top football players '12 A way early look at a few names of football prospects to remember from the Class of 2012 from across the state of Kentucky. I am listing a few names of the top prospects in the class. This class is shaping up to be a nice and talented one with a number of prospects on track to perhaps signing with a Division I school. I am sure this list will grow as the season goes on. Hunter Bowles, Glasgow, QB-LB, 6-4, 220 Jalen Boyd, Western, DB, 6-1, 185 Travis Elliott, Ryle, RB, 5-11, 175 Josh Harris, Mason County, RB, 6-1, 175 Russell Hayden, Owensboro Catholic, RB, 5-9, 190 Scooter Hollis, Bowling Green, QB, 6-0, 165 Jerrett Ingram, Bowling Green, DT, 5-11, 250 Joseph Jamerson, Prestonsburg, WR-DB, 6-3, 175 Logan Johnson, Letcher Central, QB-DB, 6-1, 190 Jessie Keen, Lou. Holy Cross, RB, 5-10, 160 Joe Manley, Bowling Green, OL, 6-5, 275 Nick Miller, South Laurel, RB-LB, 6-1, 205 Cody Murphy, Ohio County, RB-LB, 5-9, 180 Max Ray, Danville, RB, 5-11, 160 Zeke Pike, Dixie Heights, QB, 6-5, 185 Chase Roark, Middlesboro, QB-DB, 6-3, 220 Cameron Scott, Lou. Holy Cross, RB, 6-1, 210 Quan Turner, Washington County, WR-DB, 5-9, 160 Anthony Wales, Central, RB-WR-DB, 5-8, 165 Josh Walls, Scott County, RB-DB, 5-10, 175 http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/demling/blog.html
woodyccrr Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) As far as NKY is concerned, Pike is huge but Elliott already has a year of varsity football under his belt...and if either of those kids are under 200 pounds I would be really surprised.

PurplePride92 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Looks like BG has some good young talent coming up. Nice.:thumb: Nothing like expectations.:popcorn:
Snappy502 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Josh Harris out of Mason County is going to be a sure stud.
football junky Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Scout lists Elliott as 205lbs but I think he may be a little bigger!
football junky Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 The Miller kid out of Henry Clay should of been on this list! Unreal WR with great hands and excellent speed! You will hear alot about him in the near future. (2012 kid)
AverageJoesGym Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 No suprise but the list is dominated by skill position players. Its very tough for a lineman or linebacker to make an impact as a freshman due to the physicality of the positions. I'm sure we'll see several at those positions added to the list.
Anvil Head Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 I can't see how J.J. Jude from Johnson Central is not on this list.
Voice of Reason Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Two players to watch at Beechwood are Cameron Vocke, RB, and Joe Staten. Staten is starting at LB as a Soph and that doesn't happen very often at Beechwood. Vocke has that Barry Sanders like stop, cut and immediately back to speed style. The Highlands freshman team from last year can testify to it.

southeast_bell Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Chase Roark Is the real deal he has a huge upside with his strong, accurate arm. He should be fun to watch the next 3 seasons.
Voice of Reason Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 He may be an excellent running back but I do not believe for a minute that he has Barry Sanders ability to cut. Sorry not buying it. Have you seen Vocke play? I am very objective in what I say about players and I don't exagerate. I am NOT saying he is another Barry Sanders. That is ludicrous at this point in time. But I am saying that is part of Vocke's style and he is one of the best I have seen at it in high school in quite a while. He carved up the Highlands freshman team last year with this style in the championship game. I believe he had 4 TD runs in that game and most of them were made with great cuts and explosive speed out of the cut. That being said, he is just a sophomore but he merits watching.
dirtyred1967 Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Jalen Boyd reminds me of a young Shaun Taylor. He has good size and speed. Western has a pretty good secondary with juniors CB Leon Melvin and SS Jacorey Ritchie.
LowManWins Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 If you havent had a chance to see Cody Murphy from Ohio County you need to!! He is going to be a good one!!!
