A member of Prep Redzone’s 3A Preseason All-State Offense team, Brandon Smith-Santiago Brandon Smith-Santiago 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Paris | 2027 State KY plays both ways but has the highest ceiling as a wide receiver. During Week 2, in what looked to be an upset bid against Woodford County, caught four passes for 52 yards and a touchdown. The scoring reception came from 27 yards out and gave Bourbon County a six-point advantage going into halftime. While the Yellow Jackets ultimately made the comeback, Smith-Santiago was the spark that gave the Colonels life early on. I predict he will continue to do this throughout the season.
