After breaking down some of the top 2026 playmakers on both sides of the ball, here's my list of some intriguing 2027s in Kentucky to watch for on the offensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["374785"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In the first place spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='374785' first='Zane' last='Johnson'], a quarterback at Trinity High School. Johnson impresses me with his footwork and ability to maneuver the pocket. I also like how Johnson can use the edge to scan the backfield for an open man. Another facet of Johnson's playstyle that stands out is his arm strength and pin-point accuracy in the air, showing off his his ability to complete challenging passes.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MuG2Pu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65cbbb2909aa0"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378831"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='378831' first='Kade' last='Goodin'], a quarterback at Collins High School. What stands out about Goodin is his electric speed on the ground, proving he can breach the pocket, juke out the defense and create seperation on his way to the house. Goodin also made a difference with his strong passing game, showing off his precision in the air as well as his ability to find safe passing targets in the endzone.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19044969/6547f8303deb520b887281aau0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65cbbb2909b49"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378830"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='378830' first='Gavin' last='Johnson'], a wide receiver at Hazard High School. What makes Johnson so efficient down the stretch is his breakaway speed. physicality in coverage and his ability to attack the ball in the air with his solid wingspan.

Ranson stands out with his quick execution as well as his ability to blast past the defense from along the edge.
