If Monroe County wants to have any chance to beat a talented Owensboro Catholic team, they will need a big game out of Brayden Baxter Brayden Baxter 5'7" | 165 lbs | RB Monroe County | 2026 State KY . Baxter has been very impressive out of the backfield during their playoff run, running the ball 35 times for 254 yards and five touchdowns. He has explosive speed which he is able to use to run away from the defense on long runs. Brady has also shown the elusiveness to make defenders miss in the open field. Baxter has also caught two passes for 24 yards and accounted for 10 tackles and an interception on defense during the playoffs. Brayden doesn’t currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should be keeping an eye on.

Claiming the number three spot on my list is Brayden Baxter Brayden Baxter 5'7" | 165 lbs | RB Monroe County | 2026 State KY , a running back at Monroe County High School. In addition to his electric speed off the snap, Baxter impresses me with his ability to maneuver the field and consistently juke out the defense. I also like how Baxter can utilize the stiff arm to break tackles on his way into enemy territory.
