2027 Darrian "Man Man" Tomlin ATH/LB/S from Versailles, KY (Woodford County HS)

I have some family that live near Lexington, KY. I will see if any of them have seen this kid play.

I know Woodford County is coached by Dennis Johnson who is a former Kentucky/NFL player. He was the USA Today National DPOY back in 1997 and had quite a remarkable career.
 
I still remember his recruitment. Kid was a stud!
Yep Butch and company were after him hard. Everyone was, he had a ridiculous prep career and started like 6 years of varsity making All-State 5 years in a row on both sides of the ball. Truly a generational talent for a state like Kentucky at that. There was another highly rated DE Julius Yeast on his same team that went to Ohio State. My family in KY said Johnson was the best defensive player they ever seen by a mile.

He chose to stay in state, which I think limited him from reaching his true potential. Had he played for us or pretty much any true football school he probably would’ve developed into a top 5 draft pick. He was massive and extremely athletic for his size.

If the offer is there for this kid now hopefully he doesn’t make the same mistake by going to a dumpster fire like UK…
