Lexington Christian Academy's 5-foot-9, 225-pound senior running back Domonique Hayden

 

"He can literally carry four or five tacklers on his back. And his explosiveness is unreal. When he uncoils on somebody, people go backward and get hurt."

He has a shot at the state record for career rushing TDs — 110 — set by Derek Homer of Fort Knox in 1996. Hayden has 100.

 

Homer, a former LCA assistant, is one of Hayden's biggest fans.

 

"Domonique is an old-school type football player," Homer said. "He's built low to the ground. He's strong and powerful. He has agility and balance. He's got a great attitude, too. He's there for his teammates."

 

Hayden's speed (4.57 in the 40-yard dash), strength and determination make him tough to tackle.

 

"You rarely see anybody bring him down single-handedly," said LCA quarterback Lucas Witt. "I don't think anybody can do it."

 

Rains figures Hayden might be the strongest running back — high school or college — in Kentucky. He can bench press 345 pounds, power clean 325 and squat 620.

Nice article on a seemingly very nice young man.

 

Good luck to the "D-Train".

Very good article and well deserved. I've watched him play the last 3 years. He's very exciting to watch. That tells you how impressive Racelands defense was last year holding him under 100 yards every time the two teams met. Can't see anybody beating them this year. :thumb:

Great article on what seems to be a great kid. I would love to see him break the rushing TD record. Seems like a very deserving young man!!

He broke the overall career TD record last week! He's a very hardnosed runner!

Nice looking back. Hope he does well in college.
