Boyle County absolutely rolled St. Xavier on Friday night, smashing them 42-13 on the road, and four-star tight end Seneca Driver was the absolute main force behind that blowout. This dude accounted for four of the Wildcats’ six touchdowns, and he did it in pretty much every single way you can imagine.
Dude’s All Over the Field, All Over the Scoreboard
Seriously, Driver started the scoring party early for Boyle County, hauling in an 84-yard reception for their first touchdown. Talk about making a statement right off the bat! He then sealed the deal with their final touchdown on a 16-yard reception later in the game. But wait, there’s more. The Oklahoma commit wasn’t just catching passes. He even lined up at quarterback, punching in a four-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. And the drive right before that? He THREW a 10-yard touchdown pass to Maddox Hager. Are you kidding me? This guy’s a full-on cheat code. Coming into Friday night, Driver already had seven touchdowns on the season. This career night definitely solidified his spot in Kentucky’s stacked Mr. Football race, and honestly, who’s even close after a performance like that?
From Viral Tackles to Championship Runs
Driver’s senior season has been nothing short of chaotic, to put it mildly. Just a few weeks back, he got ejected from a game after racking up two unsportsmanlike penalties against Lexington Catholic, which meant he had to sit out the next week. Then, last week, he went viral again for a tackle that looked more like something out of the WWE than a high school football field. But all that wild energy finally channeled into pure football brilliance Friday. This win bumps Boyle County to a strong 5-1 record as they eye another run at the Class 4A state championship. Driver was a pivotal part of their title run last season, too, snagging 49 passes for 875 yards and 11 touchdowns. He’s clearly built for the big moments.
The Future Is Bright (and Sooner Red)
This dude isn’t just a high school legend, he’s a national recruit. Driver committed to Oklahoma back on March 7, picking the Sooners over powerhouses like Kentucky and Notre Dame, along with a bunch of other top Power Four programs. The scouts definitely see the talent. He’s currently ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect in the 2027 USA TODAY Sports composite ranking, which is insane. Plus, he’s the No. 3 tight end prospect in the country and easily the top player coming out of Kentucky.
Boyle County is sitting pretty at 5-1 and looks poised to make another deep run for that Class 4A state title. With Seneca Driver playing like this, scoring any way he wants, it’s gonna be wild to watch how far he can take them this season. Can he lead them to another championship repeat? You absolutely know he’s gonna try.
