Brian Eldridge

Brian Eldridge Sr. is a writer and storyteller born and raised in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, now living in Louisville for over a decade. A graduate of Hopkinsville High School and Hopkinsville Community College, Brian began his writing journey in spots journalism, covering University of Kentucky football and basketball recruiting for the Kentucky Sports Report in 2006. He later joined Scout.com in 2010, focusing primarily on football recruiting across the state.
