Kei’Von Mattox, who caught 41 passes for 466 yards and four touchdowns as a sophomore last season as a sophomore at Brebeuf Jesuit, said Thursday that he has transferred to Lawrence North. The Wildcats are expected to have several key players back from last year’s 7-3 team, including quarterback Darian Prather, receiver Monshun Sales and running back Izayveon Moore.
Markell Bailey, who led Franklin Central with 36 receptions for 629 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore, has transferred to North Central, he said. Bailey was one of the top sophomore receivers in the state last season. The Panthers ended a 32-game losing streak last season, finishing 2-8 in Collin Coffer’s first year as coach.
Pike sophomore quarterback Mychael Lewis has transferred to Carmel, Red Devils’ coach Mike Brevard confirmed. Lewis completed 52% of his passes for 809 yards and four TDs as a sophomore and ran for 583 yards and five TDs. He played as a freshman, passing for 343 yards and four TDs and running for 163 yards and three TDs.
