After thriving as a sophomore when he stepped up in place of the injury starting quarterback, Kenny Minchey exploded as a junior at Hendersonville (Tenn.) Pope John Paul II. He threw for 3,280 yards and 32 touchdowns, leading the team to the state semifinals for the first team in school history. “He’s changed our program for the better, and not just on the field,” Pope John Paul II head coach Brian Sneed told Main Street Preps. Minchey says his hobbies include training and watching sports. He is the son of Tomeka and Kennith Minchey Sr. He has two siblings named Kayla and Kaesyn.
