<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After an outstanding year of high school football action in the Bluegrass State, it's time to continue to evaluate some of the top prospects to make their presence known on the field this past season. Following my breakdown of some intriguing 2026s to keep an eye on, here's my list of some impactful 2026 stockrisers in Kentucky to watch for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1099757"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669eb49f50056"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the first place spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1099757' first='Cage' last='Fannin'], a linebacker at Fern Creek High School. What impresses me about Fannin is his ability to read the offense like a book, proving he can quickly get off the ground and pick off the quarterback. I also like how Fannin can breach the pocket and consistently shut down the running game with his strength and commanding tackling ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17950412/6566466564e06308fc523595">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971505"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669eb49f500e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='971505' first='Dameyn' last='Anness'], an athlete at Ludlow High School. What makes Anness such a considerable weapon on both sides is his size and explosive speed off the snap. Offensively, I like how Anness can utilize bursts of speed to take off. On the other side of the ball, Anness catches my attention with his quick execution and ability to blast the opposition both in the pocket and from along the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mcw0g">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401931"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669eb49f50156"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='401931' first='Wyatt' last='Robbins'], a quarterback at Murray High School. Robbins impresses me under center due to his ability to maneuver the pocket with ease and remain composed under heavy defensive pressure. I also like Robbins because of his arm strength and pin-point accuracy in the air, proving he can hit his receivers in stride quickly off the snap as well as deep in the backfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/9881852/653e8fc932e74d09142ce4e5">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971532"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669eb49f501c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another skilled prospect to keep an eye on is [player_tooltip player_id='971532' first='Ethan' last='Pittman'], an offensive lineman at Wayne County High School. Pittman makes a huge difference at the line of scrimmage due to his size and ability to adapt to his opponent's strength. I also like how Pittman can utilize his wingspan to engulf defenders and protect his quarterback. Pittman also showcased his ability to absorb pressure in the pocket, opening up space for the offense to run the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18018069/6535682d9a90eb0ad4ae7f32">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971504"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669eb49f50233"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='971504' first='Bryson' last='Rowsey'], a wide receiver at Raceland High School. Rowsey makes a huge difference with his strong catching ability, proving he can overpower the defense by attacking the ball in the air. I also like Rowsey's physicality in coverage, ability to stay in front of the pass and his ability to create outstanding seperation in the backfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/13154165/656dff38578e0102acab1e30">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
