We have narrowed down the 50 semifinalists and 10 finalists for the inaugural and now annual <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>Player of the Year Award down to the one single winner.

This distinction can potentially be awarded to a prep of any age and at any position, and the winner of this Player of the Year prize is chosen for a variety of reasons. The most distinguishing reason really comes down to the value they bring to their team and program. If they weren’t on their squad or didn’t succeed like they did, how good would the team really be? The 2020 winner of this Award really proved themselves to be the most valuable player in the state to their team, and their personal statistics, accomplishments, and potential as a college football player were only an added bonus. Without further ado we at <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>are excited to announce the first-ever winner of our Player of the Year Award: <em>Moorhead Spud </em>quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="18044" first="Trey" last="Feeney"]. </strong> The 6’2, 210 lb. North Dakota Fighting Hawks commit helped lead the <em>Spuds </em>to an undefeated record and a 2020 AP 5A Mythical State Championship. He led the entire state of Minnesota in completions (137), yards (1965), and TDs (36) and added 43 rushes for 196 yards and 2 TDs. He finishes his career with over 4,500 yards passing and over 60 passing touchdowns, and has been a varsity starter since his sophomore season in 2017. He possesses a cannon for an arm and make accurate and hard-thrown balls into tight windows at all levels of the field. He can move and throw inside or outside of the pocket, can improvise when things break down, and can hurt defenses with his legs if he needs to. He’s one of the most complete Minnesota high school quarterbacks since Joe Mauer and is a natural leader on and off the field in the Moorhead community. He’s a fantastic quarterback commit for the Fighting Hawks and will play a ton of football in Grand Forks the next 4-5 years. It has been a pleasure watching you over the past few years, <strong>Trey. </strong>Best of luck from <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>and thank you for representing the state of Minnesota so well. Big things coming!
