Recent Kentucky football commit Grant Bingham of Johnson Central could likely play a variety of offensive line positions in college.

“Notre Dame and a couple of other schools said in their schemes he could play any one of four offensive line positions and might look at moving him to guard,” Johnson Central assistant coach Justin Arms said.

Johnson Central has occasionally toyed with using the 300-pound Bingham on defense in goal-line situations.

“He has even long snapped a little bit for us,” Arms said. “Whatever it takes to win, that’s what he wants to do.”

Arms admitted there was a time that Notre Dame was “very hot” on Bingham’s college list because of the national TV schedule/exposure the Irish get and his relationship with the coaches.

“But at the end of the day he just followed his heart,” Bingham said. “He is a big family guy and going to Kentucky gives his family the opportunity to see him play more. He also understands what the guys at UK are building.”
