For those watching Cov Cath, a few names to look out for :
Michael Mayer - 6-5 235 lb Junior TE/LB
Committed to Notre Dame
- Don't know how it would be possible but would love to figure out how to get this kid to flip. I coached he and his brother AJ (Frosh QB @ Miami OH who led Cov Cath to state championship last year). Couldn't ask for a better kid or family. Absolute freak athlete for his size. Could really play anywhere and do equally well. Reminds me of Sam Hubbard (Moeller, Ohio St and Bengals) in a lot of ways.
Jack Coldiron- 6-4 205 lb Senior WR/ S
Committed to Miami (OH)
- Long lean and fast. Great hands. Another great kid.
Casey McGinness- 5-9 185lb Senior RB/ S
Believe he may be committed but unsure.
- IMO, this is the best player on the best team in the state. They would not be where they are this year without him. With all due respect to Wandale Robinson, I think this kid is his equal. It's only because N Ky doesn't get strong press coverage throughout the rest of the state that you don't hear about him more. Will leave as the schools all time leading rusher. That feat was accomplished through most of the past two undefeated years when they had running clocks placed on almost everyone. Would love to see what he could do in a similar role as Robinson on UK's team next year.
Lucas Jones - 6-4 270 lb Junior OT
Uncommitted.
- Son of former U.K. Lineman Barry Jones. Lucas was injured earlier this year but is back. Has tremendous footwork, agility and speed. An absolute mauler. Also- great kid and extremely coachable. I expect he will be at the top of recruiting lists heading into next year. UK needs to jump on this kid.
Caleb Jacob- 6-2 195 lb Soph QB
Uncommitted
- Nephew of Coach Eddie Eviston. Caleb took over for outgoing AJ Mayer and didn't miss a beat, leading them to a (thus far) undefeated season. I do not have his stats but knowing who is coaching him and his measurables, I'd wager this kid will be one of the states top 2-3 QB's by the time he is a Senior
Eviston has it rolling there- it also doesn't hurt that Highlands has been down the past several years from where they normally perform. Wouldn't surprise me to see multiple state championships out of Park Hills.
