Frankfort football coach Craig Foley thinks his senior-to-be star E.J. Fields (right) might be “one of the hidden jewels” in the state next season. Foley said Kentucky, North Carolina State, Duke, Troy State and Cincinnati have offered Fields a scholarship. Vanderbilt, Wisconsin and Stanford also are showing interest. Fields, a 6-foot-3, 175-pounder, was a dual threat at quarterback for the Panthers last season. He ran for 1,147 yards (averaging almost 10 yards a carry) and 14 touchdowns, and threw for 664 yards and 9 TDs. Fields is a speed-burner. He won the state title in the 400-meter sprint last spring, and has a 10.7 clocking in the 100 this year. UK is recruiting him as a wide receiver/defensive back.

EJ looks awfully impressive on the field. In the Panthers’ win over Danville at Sower Field last fall, EJ did a great job as an all-around football player and proved he can play against talented squads.

EJ is a player, plain and simple. Although I think he has the ability to play QB at the next level, he’ll more than likely be a WR, and a good one at that. EJ will make noise on the collegiate level.
