Expert Analysis
Ryan Lippert | Prep Redzone Scout
Wrapping up our 2023 athlete rankings in the state of Kentucky is Woodford County’s Aden Nelson Aden Nelson 6'2" | 185 lbs | ATH Woodford County | 2023 State KY . He played a key role in his team’s success this year, producing in all three phases of the game. On offense, Nelson lined up at receiver and finished the year with 41 receptions for 743 yards and ten touchdowns. He has the speed to run by defensive backs in the deep passing game but is also very dangerous after the catch, showing the speed to run away from the defense, elusiveness to make defenders miss, and strength to break tackles in the open field. Nelson also ran the ball 16 times for 314 yards and four touchdowns and threw one touchdown pass. On defense, Nelson moved all over the secondary as a defensive back, finishing the year with 56 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions. He has the ball skills to break on the pass and make plays on the ball with perfect timing but is also a very physical defender. Nelson has shown the ability to come downhill and make tackles against the run and also make physical hits in the passing game to knock the ball loose from receivers. He also played a key role on special teams, returning one punt for a touchdown this season. Aden is committed to West Virginia where I see him having the ability to play on either side of the ball.
