Mr. Football is coming back to high school.
Beechwood senior quarterback Cameron Hergott announced Monday evening that he would return to Beechwood for a fifth year of high school in the 2021-22 school year.
Hergott was eligible under Kentucky Senate Bill 128, which allows any student enrolled in a Kentucky public high school during the 2020-21 school year to request to use the 2021-22 school year “as a supplemental school year to retake or supplement the courses the student has already taken.”
The Louisville Courier-Journal has more on the law here.
Hergott’s uncle Kevin Hergott confirmed the decision. Cameron Hergott tweeted Monday: "As a result of the Beechwood school board approving SB-128, I am excited to announce that I will be reclassifying to the c/o 2022 at Beechwood High School!"
Under the law, each school board has to approve the new law for all the students in its district, which the Beechwood district in Fort Mitchell did on Monday.
Hergott led Beechwood to the KHSAA Class 2A state championship in December. He is the reigning Mr. Football honoree by both the Associated Press and the Kentucky Football Coaches Association. He committed to Akron of the Mid-American Conference earlier this year as a walk-on but could use his extra year to draw further interest and earn a scholarship.
Hergott also played basketball for the Tigers this past season.
