Kentucky high school WR breaks TD record, now eyes national record
Ja’Hyde Brown has been un-guardable this season and set the record in Christian Academy of Louisville's regular season finale.
Christian Academy of Louisville senior receiver Ja Hyde Brown has shattered the Kentucky high school football touchdown reception record. Brown now holds the state record with an impressive 31 touchdown catches, surpassing the previous record of 30 set by William Carrico of Owensboro Catholic in 2023. Brown's remarkable performance, including a three-touchdown game against Fern Creek on October 30th, has propelled him to the top of the national list for single-season touchdown receptions, with the record currently at 39.
As the Centurions are favorites to win their fifth consecutive Class 3A state championship and enter the playoffs, Brown is poised to make a run for the national record. The record was first broken in 1999 by Chris Nessmith of New Life (Millbrook, AL), matched by Tren Davian Dickson of Navasota (TX) in 2014, and repeated by Jaydon Smith of Ingleside (TX) in 2023.
