The favorite for Kentucky’s annual Mr. Football award isn’t always obvious before the high school season starts. And a lot can happen between now and the first weekend in December at Kroger Field.
But Boyle County’s all-everything Montavin “Tavi” Quisenberry might have a head start this year after our preseason survey of coaches ranked the West Virginia commit atop the 2024 Herald-Leader
Hundred, our annual list of some of the commonwealth’s best players.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound senior wide receiver/cornerback has been leaving would-be tacklers in his wake for two seasons for the four-time defending Class 4A champions and has twice been a Courier Journal first-team all-state selection. Before that, Quisenberry had a sensational freshman year at quarterback for neighboring Garrard County.
Boyle County’s powerhouse program doesn’t need Quisenberry to pile up gaudy statistics, but he seems to do so anyway. As a junior, he racked up 800 yards and 18 TDs rushing, 856 yards and 12 TDs receiving and had three kickoff return TDs and two punt return TDs, including one in the Class 4A finals that helped him earn championship game MVP honors. As a sophomore, he topped 1,000 yards rushing with 10 TDs and was the Rebels’ leading receiver with 833 yards and 13 TDs; he also had six special teams scores.
But Quisenberry is sure to have a number of formidable challengers by the end of the year for high school football’s highest individual honor when the Kentucky Football Coaches Association makes its Mr. Football pick.
Quisenberry’s name appeared on a survey-best 50 of the 85 coaches’ ballots returned to the Herald-Leader and had the most No. 1 player votes as well with 25.
