The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.

For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.

Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.

They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.

Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night

The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.

Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.

Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.

They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.

WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:

“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

We are still working to get more information.
