Preseason Mr. Football?

[oldjarhead]

Travis Elliot should get it 4 year starter should have a great year.

 

I wish Travis good luck and good health. But I think Ryle will have almost all new starters on the o-line

sk#1 did you fall and hit your head? You do realize this is a Ryle player. Perhaps a few loses to their program is softening your stance lol.

[Bird Bath]

Who do you think is the Preseason Mr. Football and why?

 

No pioneers in your poll are you turning a new chapter.

[goaheadandjump]

The concern I would have is that with the two QB's out of Northern Ky, that they will split votes and somebody else will win it.

Nope but I am tired of this talk about QB's when Elliot is the best player this year!

If Jude ends up being the All-Time leader in rushing yards for KY and has two 3,000 + yard rushing seasons in a row, what justification is there for saying he's not the "best" player in Ky? Please don't get me wrong, I've watched Towles and I believe he is an exceptional athlete. Playing within the system at Highlands doesn't give you the same type of stats that he could have elsewhere but being the ALL-TIME leader in rushing yards for KY has to count for something? I haven't watched Pike so I can't comment on him.

 

I needed to clarify that I fully understand that JJ has to have another season like last season to make this argument valid. Noone knows for sure if he can do that but if he does then this is my argument.

Towles or Jude, with Towles likely having far more of an advantage.

Jude might be a good player but I don't think he would have problems putting them numbers up in 6A. That is why I think Elliot is better plus Elliot will be a 4 year starter and a stud on defense. He switches around on defense playing LB, DE, and NT. Not to many kids can do all that.

The justification is simple. Weight, speed, and competition that those numbers are going up against. Mr. Football is supposed to be the best football player in the state. Jude is a great player, but he is not a division one athlete.

Towles...unless one of the others signs with UK, too!

Not being a "D1" talent shouldn't automatically make him a non factor in the race.

Danville's Patrick Brand is coming off of an outstanding season. He rushed for over 2,500 yds and led the Ads to the semi-state game against O-Cath in which they fell short. I wonder why he isn't a top name in this conversation??

Tougher for the smaller school player to get noticed.
