Logan Padgett might also have a future in football that could turn out to be better than basketball.
Scott Padgett was on UK's 1998 national championship team and is now the head coach at Samford. Logan is a 6-6 receiver on Birmingham's Homewood High football team and a power forward on the basketball team.
He was a starter on the class 6-A state basketball championship team last year as a freshman and has already received interest from several colleges.
"He has a chance to be good (in football), but I would not call him outstanding yet," Scott Padgett said. "Football is kind of a religion down here. Very few players play both ways at a big school, so he just plays offense.
"He has a chance to be outstanding. He has a lot of natural athletic ability. He is more college ready in football than basketball right now. If he was 6-10 instead of 6-6, I would say basketball would be first. At 6-6, he is fast, can really jump and is taller than everybody on the field. He has got a long wingspan, too. He has a mismatch every play on the field. They don't pass a lot on this team, but he can catch the ball."
Gary Estwick of al.com says he has no doubt that Logan Padgett has basketball as his favorite sport, but also loves to "excel at any sport he suits up with" much like his father did.
