Kirk LaGrange Kirk LaGrange 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB Madisonville-North Hopkins | 2026 State KY caught my attention with a very strong senior year. He lined up at outside linebacker where he proved to be very reliable against the run. LaGrange diagnoses the play quickly then uses his speed to run sideline to sideline to get to the ball carrier in a hurry. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he explodes through contact and finishes his tackles with a ton of physicality. Kirk finished this season with a team-high 125 tackles and 18 tackles for loss in 11 games. He also showed the ability to make plays against the pass, finishing the year tied for the team lead in interceptions with four (two returned for touchdowns) while also recording six sacks. LaGrange also made an impact on offense as a senior, scoring two rushing touchdowns. Kirk currently holds multiple offers and I expect him to find success wherever he ends up playing at the next level.
