Continue ReadingWith the 2023 high school football season behind us, another senior class will be moving on to the next level. As we move into a new season, I wanted to take a look back at the class of 2024 by releasing the final 2024 rankings for the state of Kentucky. With these rankings being officially published, I will be taking the next week to break down each position, starting with the quarterbacks.
Cutter Boley Cutter Boley 6’5″ | 200 lbs | QB Lexington Christian Academy | 2024 State KY continued to live up to the hype this season and cemented himself as the top overall player in the state in his class. Boley had a strong senior season, completing 172/268 passes for 2,187 yards, 24 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in 13 games. He has everything that you could want in a starting quarterback from arm strength, accuracy, touch, decision making, improv ability, etc. The main thing that stands out when watching him is his deep ball, where he shows the arm strength to lead his receivers down the field and touch to put the ball where only his intended receiver can catch it. Boley also showed the ability to make plays with his legs when needed, finishing the season with 37 carries for 115 yards and five touchdowns. Cutter signed with Kentucky where I expect him to develop into their future QB1.
Cole Hodge Cole Hodge 6’2″ | QB Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2024 State KY is a quarterback that has been high on my radar for a while now and continues to stand out this season. Hodge led CAL to a second straight 3A State Championship, completing 283/380 passes for 4,104 yards, 57 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 15 games. Hodge has a very impressive arm which he uses to stretch the field in the deep passing game. He also has shown impressive accuracy, showing the ability to fit passes into tight windows where only his intended receiver can catch it. Hodge also showed true dual-threat ability, leading his team in rushing with 105 carries for 625 yards and 10 touchdowns. Cole signed with East Carolina where I can see him becoming a successful quarterback at the next level.
Sage Dawson Sage Dawson 5’11” | 150 lbs | ATH Boyle County | 2024 State KY is another 2024 quarterback that has been high on my radar for a while now and continued to impress this season. Dawson helped lead Boyle County to another 4A State Championship, completing 137/194 passes for 2,509 yards, 29 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 15 games. Sage throws an impressive deep ball, using his arm to stretch the field and hit his receivers in stride. He has also shown impressive ball placement, putting the ball where only his intended receiver can catch it. Dawson also showed the ability to tuck the ball and make plays with his legs when needed, finishing the season with 61 carries for 385 yards and four touchdowns. Sage is committed to Air Force where I can see him being a very productive player at the next level.
Although he missed his senior year due to injury, Cole Carpenter Cole Carpenter 6’4″ | 200 lbs | QB Frederick Douglass | 2024 State KY has still done enough to put him in the top five quarterbacks in his class. Cole had a very impressive high school career as a true pocket passer, where he has a great feel for pressure. He has shown the ability to move in the pocket to avoid pressure while keeping his eyes down the field to find the open receiver. Carpenter also has a very strong arm which he uses to stretch the field in the deep passing game. Cole signed with Eastern Kentucky, where I believe he has the potential to develop into a successful quarterback at the next level.
To wrap up our top five quarterbacks in the class of 2024, I have Logan Lundy Logan Lundy 6’3″ | 215 lbs | QB Raceland | 2024 State KY from Raceland. Lundy led Raceland to the 1A State Championship Game this season, completing 138/218 passes for 2,037 yards, 25 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games. Logan throws a nice deep ball, showing the arm strength to lead his receivers down the field and ball placement to put the ball where only his intended receiver can catch it. He also showed true dual-threat ability this season, running the ball 126 times for 381 yards and six touchdowns. Lundy currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky, Pikeville, Kentucky Christian, and UVA-Wise, and I expect him to be successful wherever he decides to play at the next level.
