The coach of one of Kentucky's rising seniors hopes scouts don't let his star player's modest height get in the way recruiting a potential star.
"A lot of coaches seem to be really hung up on height these days for some reason," said Louisville Eastern coach Joe Prince. "But I'm telling you, that's the only disadvantage this kid has, if you can call it that. He's got everything it takes to be a real nice player.
The player in question is Andre Bradford, a 5-foot-11 1/2, 230-pound linebacker. As a junior, he earned all-district honors after recording 90 tackles and five interceptions. His playmaking ability combined with his physical tools (4.6 forty, 330 bench) have started to draw attention from several college programs.
