Based on coaches votes ... so .... as with these things, it's all subjective.

The following is a preseason list of the Herald-Leader’s top 50 football players in the state, as selected by coaches and staff writer Josh Moore.

The top 10 players are presented in order of votes received in a preseason survey of coaches, who were asked to rank the top 10 players in the state regardless of school classification. The next 40 are, in alphabetical order, the other players most often named as part of that polling and, in a few instances, players who were not frequently named in polling but whose absence would have called into question the integrity of the ranking (Josh Moore made that call).

Additionally, more notable players from Kentucky’s respective geographic regions were recognized according to those regions.
