Prep Redzone WI Player of the Year: Quarter-Finalists

It has come time to begin the process of identifying the 2021 Prep Redzone WI Player of the Year! The winner of this honor will be joining the likes of Colorado safety Austin Dahlke, and University of Minnesota- Duluth QB Kyle Walljasper. The winner of this honor exemplifies everything you look for in a high school athlete. A player who’s impact stands out above the rest, they have the statistics to support the impact, and their team has benefited from that impact by securing a trip to the playoffs and beyond! Those three factors are what we look for when finding the members of this quarter-finalists stage. A player who had a clear, large impact on his team, some of the best stats in the state, and that impact led to their team qualifying for the playoffs. With that being said, let’s dive into who has earned a spot as a quarter-finalist for 2021 Prep Redzone WI Player of the Year!
