#TNHSFB: POTW/Top Performers – Week One
In this article:
Week one of Tennessee high school has been completed, so it's time to look back and see who were the top performers from a great weekend of football action.
East Tennessee
(QB)
Jordyn Potts
Jordyn
Potts
6'0" | 190 lbs | QB
Powell | 2023
State
TN
- Powell …#EastTN23
* 15-24 passing for 298 yds & 4 TD's - Also had 1 rushing TD *
- Potts was a key figure behind the Panthers comeback win over Anderson Co. last Friday. The junior signal caller went toe to toe with the Mavs offense and handled himself like a vet, putting up strong individual numbers and helping push his Powell team to victory. He has another big task this week as Potts and the Panthers take on East Tennessee power Maryville.
Middle Tennessee
(QB)
Destin Wade
Destin
Wade
6'3" | 205 lbs | QB
Summit | 2022
State
TN
- Summit …#MidTN22
* 3-5 passing for 29 yards & 1 TD - 6 carries for 265 yards & 4 TD's (Avg. 44.2 yds per carry) *
- If Wade would have put up over a 100 yards passing, this might have been one of the best individual performances of any in-state player of all time. The rushing numbers alone are staggering, especially on only six carries, so it's no question that Wade earns player of the week for the Middle Tennessee region but also probably the entire state as well.
West Tennessee
(WR)
Kaydin Pope
Kaydin
Pope
6'0" | 180 lbs | WR
Hardin County | 2022
State
TN
- Hardin County …#WestTN22
* 7 receptions for 218 yards & 4 TD's (31.1 yds per rec.) … Also had 1 Int on Defense *
- Having to replace the school's all-time leading passer, you would have thought Pope might take a step back this season but no, that's not the case as the Tigers have a new gunslinger and as you see by the numbers, this West Tennessee wideout produced a stellar game. Pope is a big time talent that still remains uncommitted but has several strong P5, D1 suitors.
