At this moment, White leads the Class 1A ranks in total offensive yards while producing 20 touchdowns total, both through the air passing and on the ground. The Raiders senior offensive playmaker has been difficult to stop this year due to his speed, vision and overall football smarts that allows him to handle the quarterback role for his Moore Co. team. Others are certainly in contention along with White but I don't see anybody bypassing him for top honors this year as I foresee this Mid-TN talent continuing to run around and over teams, putting up monster numbers. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a856c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: Luke Treece</strong> - Coalfield, <strong>Ben Franklin</strong> - Cornersville, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='301360' first='Kamden' last='Wellington']</strong> - South Pitt, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='480919' first='Bennett' last='McDougal']</strong> - Whitwell, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='466232' first='Jayden' last='Milton']</strong> - West Carroll, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207328' first='Kumaro' last='Brown']</strong> - M.A.S.E., <strong>Cameron Schlicht</strong> - Dresden</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":827140,"width":394,"height":387,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/dawwhite.jpg?w=699" alt="" class="wp-image-827140" style="width:394px;height:387px" width="394" height="387" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - - - - - -</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 2A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["497421"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWe are in the middle of a breakout season for this junior running back as Groves currently leads the Class 2A ranks in rushing while also taking his college stock to another level. The Indians junior playmaker has been a man among boys on the field thus far, running around defenders, using his speed and natural athletic abilities to find the end zone on a consistent basis. Groves has already ran for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns and I wouldn't be surprised to see him finish with over 2,000 for the year. He will maintain this kind of play the entire year to come out with Mr. Football but he is certainly on pace to achieve top honors by season's end. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a85e1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='362006' first='Brycen' last='McDonald'] </strong>- Lewis Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1102959' first='Lamarious' last='Liggins'] </strong>- Mitchell, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='390592' first='Carter' last='Daniel'] </strong>- Loretto, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323144' first='Nick' last='Brown'] </strong>- Mt.

This two-way talent has been a key performer in the Tornadoes undefeated start thus far and someone that will continue to be leaned upon moving forward as the team's lead running back. Cannon is not only producing on offense but doing so as well on defense as one of the team's top tacklers. The competition for 3A Mr. Football will remain tough going forward but I believe in the end, this Alcoa senior should stand tall as the winner.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a863c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='148864' first='Cody' last='Pagach'] </strong>- Alcoa, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207312' first='Brady' last='Hammonds'] </strong>- G-Pittman, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219342' first='Tegan' last='Avera'] </strong>- G-Pittman, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='596337' first='Carson' last='Howell'] </strong>- Bolivar Cent., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='239447' first='Kamauri' last='Turner'] </strong>- Giles Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='277770' first='Zori' last='Randolph'] </strong>- Giles Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='287426' first='Malik' last='Bolling'] </strong>- East Nashville, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='971296' first='Keith' last='Johnson'] </strong>- East Nashville, <strong>Ethan Meadows </strong>- Meigs Co., <strong>Camarius Quinn </strong>- Dyersburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - - - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 4A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["258845"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe leader of the current #PRZTN #2 team in the state, Tarleton is playing his best football yet throughout his high school career and this gunslinging senior could not only leave this season as the Mr. Football winner but possibly lead his Firebirds team to a Class 4A state championship as well. Pearl Cohn is playing some big time football right now, beating quality opponents and looking good while doing so. Tarleton is the leader of this Firebirds machine and while he may not put up big numbers on a weekly basis, he doesn't turn the ball over and he leads his team to victories. He will continue to receive stiff competition but I believe in the end, Tarleton will be your 4A Mr. Football winner. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a8695"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='398082' first='Drake' last='Fisher'] </strong>- Sullivan-East, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207322' first='Carter' last='Smith'] </strong>- Hardin Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1019867' first='Nick' last='Osmun'] </strong>- Stone Memorial, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='811032' first='Javion' last='Kinnard'] </strong>- Pearl Cohn, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1200996' first='Jacob' last='Saunders'] </strong>- Hardin Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1467544' first='Jody' last='Scruggs'] </strong>- Carter, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1102967' first='Tripp' last='Pinion'] </strong>- White Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='466233' first='Camarion' last='Miller'] </strong>- Haywood, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829084' first='Deuce' last='Greenhill'] </strong>- Crockett Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533747' first='Ethan' last='Palk'] </strong>- Upperman, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207308' first='Clayton' last='Harris'] </strong>- Upperman, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149385' first='Mason' last='Ball'] </strong>- Elizabethton, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1041730' first='Tyler' last='Cross'] </strong>- Sullivan-East, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1310950' first='Gabe' last='Borders'] </strong>- Macon Co., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='600028' first='Kamron' last='Haymon'] </strong>- Hardin Co.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- - - - - - - - - - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class 5A</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402556"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eOne of the toughest classifications to predict, Class 5A presents tons of options for Mid-Season Mr. Football but after looking through all the contenders, Perkins stands out as the top guy. The Jaguars sophomore signal caller has been outstanding through the first five games of the 2023 season. He is accurate, efficient, dynamic and athletic along with showing poise beyond his years. Perkins has been near flawless leading his Southwind team to a current 5-0 start along with being the leader in the clubhouse to win their region title. The Jags sophomore quarterback plays a mature brand of football, so I would not be surprised to see Perkins considered a Mr. Football candidate over the next years during his time at Southwind.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a86ed"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='600029' first='Mason' last='Baker'] </strong>- Hendersonville, <strong>Trey Crawford </strong>- East Hamilton, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1102989' first='Amari' last='Lethgo'] </strong>- Knox.

Walker is dangerous with the ball in his hands as he can make that easy pass but also use his speed to run past defenders and that's exactly what he's done thus far. Germantown is a well balanced team with several high performing prospects, so the overall numbers may not be there right now but they are good enough and Walker has the capabilities of leading this team to a possible 6A state title. He will need to continue playing at a high level to earn Mr. Football by season's end but for the Mid-Season, he is our 6A MVP.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a874c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='258673' first='Aidan' last='Glover'] </strong>- Collierville, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='550150' first='Baylor' last='Hayes'] </strong>- Brentwood, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='962445' first='Thomas' last='Santel'] </strong>- Siegel, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='268182' first='Brett' last='Cortez'] </strong>- William Blount, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219401' first='Jamarion' last='Morrow'] </strong>- Germantown, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='186297' first='Ashton' last='Jones'] </strong>- Oakland, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219387' first='Daune' last='Morris'] </strong>- Oakland, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219347' first='Jonmikael' last='Crudup'] </strong>- Mt.

The Commanders senior playmaker has rushed the ball 115 times for 1,209 yards and 22 touchdowns, all being done in five games. Wolcott has been the bell cow back for the FCS offense this season and I don't see that changing as we move forward.

So far through five games, Roberts has been on a different level, playing the best football yet during his high school career, showing improved arm strength and pocket awareness. If Roberts can continue this play moving forward, the Bears will not only contend for the region title but become a sleeper team to march through the playoffs and find themselves in Chattanooga as well as earn Mr. Football honors. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a87ff"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='268180' first='Knox' last='Roberts'] </strong>- Davidson Acad., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='301391' first='Weston' last='Edmondson'] </strong>- GCA, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='250600' first='Jack' last='Patterson'] </strong>- Northpoint Chrst., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='362072' first='Braden' last='Streeter'] </strong>- CPA, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219427' first='Houston' last='Hicks'] </strong>- Boyd Buchanan, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207330' first='Elijah' last='Robb'] </strong>- Pope Prep, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='976043' first='E.J.' last='Carter'] </strong>- Notre Dame, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150281' first='Ty' last='Clark III'] </strong>- FRA, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492601' first='Caden' last='Stroud'] </strong>- Davidson Acad., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149166' first='Ondre' last='Evans'] </strong>- CPA, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1002764' first='Arnett' last='Hayes'] </strong>- BGA, <strong>T.J.

He is as steady as they come at quarterback in this state and so far on the season, the future Vanderbilt Commodore has played efficient football, leading his Red Raiders team to a 4-1 start. Muschamp has a bevy of weapons to throw to, so I expect his numbers to inflate further as the year goes along as well as place his team in the mix for back to back D2-Class AAA state titles. Much can change over the coming weeks but as of Mid-September, Muschamp looks to be your MVP and future Mr. Football winner.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6509c953a8855"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Candidates: [player_tooltip player_id='323145' first='Whit' last='Muschamp'] </strong>- Baylor, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139272' first='Jayden' last='Neal'] </strong>- Knox.
