Without any further ado, here’s my list of the top Kentucky 2026s that were in attendance.
In the first place spot on my list is Baron Hardesty Baron Hardesty 6’3″ | 245 lbs | DL Bullitt East | 2026 State KY , a defensive lineman at Bullitt East High School. What impresses me about Hardesty is his ability to lock in at the line of scrimmage and utilize his strength to adapt to his opponent. I also like how Hardesty can quickly execute and apply pressure on the quarterback. With a great performance in positional drills, Hardesty left Murfreesboro as a top performer.
Highlights
I was additionally impressed with Zachary Wampler Zachary Wampler 6’2″ | 290 lbs | OL Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2026 KY , an offensive lineman at Christian Academy of Louisville. In addition to outstanding size and strength in the pocket, what stands out about Wampler is his ability to defend his quarterback, proving he can absorb pressure and contain playmakers. Wampler’s physicality impressed me during positional drills as he could learn and adapt to his opponent.
Highlights
Another prospect to establish himself in Murfreesboro was Kris Hughes Kris Hughes 5’9″ | 170 lbs | ATH Somerset | 2026 KY , an athlete at Somerset High School. What makes Hughes so explosive is his strong mechanics and ability to be durable in the pocket. I also like how Hughes can use his footwork and electric speed to blast past the defense and force his way into enemy territory. Hughes impressed me with his efficiency and execution during one-on-one drills.
