Former University of Kentucky star Scott Padgett, now the head coach at Samford University, has a son who can play a little basketball, too.
In fact, Logan Padgett excels on the football field in addition to the basketball court.
Here is some footage of Logan dunking all over a defender:

According to this article from last year, he is also a really good wide receiver:
He was a starter on the class 6A 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.”
We will certainly be tracking the younger Padgett’s high school career.
