3. Shamar Porter, WR, Ensworth
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Porter is quick and talented with a natural feel for his position. He was sidelined last fall with a shoulder injury, suffering a torn labrum in late October. But he should be ready to go this month. Porter committed to the University of Kentucky earlier this year.

2. Ty Lockwood, TE, Independence
The state’s top offensive player is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound weapon who may be deployed from almost any spot behind the line of scrimmage. He can block in a variety of schemes and projects to be an asset on special teams. Lockwood made big news earlier this month, as he shockingly switched his commitment from Ohio State to Alabama.
