Boyle County Junior Montavin Quisenberry Has Had Impressive Summer

Montavin Quisenberry got a scholarship from every camp he attended this summer.

Based on the 2022 season he had four Class 4A state champion Boyle County it is no surprise that 5-9, 170-pound junior Montavin Quisenberry has had a productive summer camp season.

He now has nine scholarship offers — Kentucky, Mississippi, Michigan, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Louisville, Eastern Kentucky, Toledo and Louisiana Tech.

“He had a great summer and every camp he went to he got at least one offer,” said Boyle County coach Justin Haddix. “He dominated the camp at West Virginia. He was really good at Kentucky. He went to Virginia Tech and is very high on their radar right now.”

Quisenberry consistently ran the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds at camps and won the MVP for receivers at the Michigan camp attended by about 900 players overall.

“Every camp we went to he was the best receiver there and just showed out. It was an exciting time to be coaching him and seeing him do so well,” Haddix said

Quisenberry’s numbers at Boyle last year when the Rebels went 13-2 were terrific. He caught 57 passes for 833 yards and 13 scores, ran 96 times for 1,009 yards and 10 touchdowns, and completed two of three passes for 90 yards and two scores. He also returned three punts for touchdowns and three kickoffs for scores. On defense, he made 36 tackles, intercepted three passes and recovered one fumble.

In 12 games in 2021 at Garrard County where he primarily played quarterback before he transferred to Boyle, he completed 90 of 130 passes for 1,034 yards and 10 scores and ran 162 times for 1,501 yards and 19 scores. He also made 34 tackles, intercepted three passes and recovered three fumbles.

He now already has a 1,000-yard rushing season and 1,000-yard passing season going into his junior year. He’s already scored 300 points and amassed 2,510 yards rushing, another 1,124 yards passing and 851 yards receiving.

“I get calls regularly about him. Today’s recruiting is so different and coaches keep up to date on what he is doing and even what his interests are,” Haddix said. “He’s going to have plenty of college options.”

Haddix said as good as Quisenberry was last year, there’s a “big difference” in his play now as he’s stronger —he can power clean 245 pounds — and even quicker.

“He ran good 40 times at the camps but he’s actually quicker than he is fast,” the Boyle coach said. “He can change direction so quickly and just keep moving. He’s a great route runner and really closes on the ball.

“He’s just one of those guys who can do a lot. He can throw, run it, runs great routes, plays in the slot and can play all over the field. He’ll be our free safety and obviously return kicks. He’s just hard to take off the field.”

Quisenberry, who helped Boyle win the 80-team 7-on-7 tournament at Eastern Kentucky University last weekend, is now ranked as the No. 1 player in Kentucky in the 2025 recruiting class.

“He’s not a very vocal kid when it comes to that (rankings). He is the same kid every day. He is just humble and a hard worker,” Haddix said. “Getting all these offers has not changed him. He has fun playing and loves the game. He’s not overwhelmed by anything. He just takes it all in stride.”

Haddix doesn’t anticipate Quisenberry picking a list of favorite schools any time soon.

“Obviously Kentucky is close. He really liked Virginia Tech. Michigan and Ole Miss have shown they will use a receiver like him,” Haddix said. “I have told him you have to go to the place that will best use you. Ole Miss has had small guys who were big-time players and went to the NFL. UK did the same with Wan’Dale Robinson. Michigan sold how they have used receivers his size. So he’s already got a lot to think about it.”

Boyle opens the season Aug. 19 against Gibson Southern (Ind.) at Western Kentucky University. The Rebels will host Lexington Christian and quarterback Cutter Boley, a UK commit and No. 1 in-state player in the 2024 class, on Aug. 26.

Boyle will play at Taylor County against another UK commit, offensive lineman Hayes Johnson, on Sept. 15. The Rebels host Lexington Catholic Sept. 22 and will close regular-season play with a showdown at Frederick Douglass Oct. 27.
