I think J.K. Ratliff from Johnson Central will have a great year. He has put up some pretty good stats, considering the system he plays in is rather run oriented. I look for a more balanced attack from JC this year and think Ratliff will have some nice numbers.

JK Ratliff attended the Elit 11 QB tryouts this past weekend in Atlanta, Ga. at Ga. Tech Univ. and really impressed the staff and college coaches in attendance. He learned some great drills that will help him become a better QB and by the way, this was an invitation event so to be considerd was a big deal. He also attended the Nike Football camp on Sat. in Athens, Ga on the campus of the UGA Bulldogs amongst several Div 1-A players from all over the country, close to 350 players at the event. He threw the ball with velocity and accuracy and displayed some improved footwork that opened up some eyes who had not been aware of him earlier. JK is hearing from several schools, due to the fact he has the ideal height at 6'5 and 200 pounds, he is in a similar role that current UK QB Andre Woodson went through when he was in high school. He played for a school that ran the ball 85% of the time so his stats were not that impressive, but he went to both of these camps and impressed alot of schools to get him noticed and rated high. JK plans to attend several QB camps this summer with hopes of continuing to impress some big time college coaches. He is a 4.0 student, so academics is not a problem. Current schools that have contacted JK is: UK, UL, Marshall, Army, EKU and several Div 2 schools and NAIA schools. Scout.com and editor of the Kentucky Sports Report calls JK one of the best unknown QB's around, not only in Ky., but all over and states that JK has the strongest arm in the state of Ky.
