MOUNTAIN TOP SPORTS: Hensley top Athlete of the Week

Pikeville High School upcoming senior Jackson Hensley has taken his talents from the foothills of eastern Kentucky across much of the Atlantic Coast with his off-season workout and camps.

He looks to improve on his season from one year ago, finishing with nearly 900 yards receiving and 16 touchdowns, including a pair in the Panthers’ heartbreaking championship loss to Beechwood.

Today he landed a third Ivy League school offer, this one from Harvard. This past week he picked up one from Yale, and has also landed offers from Cornell, Morehead State, William and Mary and Florida Tech on the Division I level.

Other schools showing interest include Purdue, Louisville, Wake Forest, Western Kentucky and Marshall.

His combine workouts have earned him Mountain Top Sports’ Athlete of the Week award.
