Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
Newman is the defending 5A Mr. Football after taking home top honors last year and he has to be at the top of the list to potentially win it again this season. The Smoky Bears senior quarterback had a stellar junior season where he led the 5A ranks in passing while leading his team to the 5A state title game. I think he can basically replicate that this Fall but I don’t know if he will have the same numbers with new players stepping into starting roles at receiver. I still believe Newman will produce at a high level and remain in the mix to win his second Mr. Football honor due to the Smoky Bears being one of the best teams on the 5A level this year. I won’t predict a winner in this article but I will say that I think Newman will be a semifinalist by the time we reach the end of the regular season.

Read EvaluationChris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
Back to back years, Newman led his Smoky Bears team to the Class 5A title game and even though he came up short last Fall, this junior quarterback still had a sensational junior campaign. For the 2025 season, Newman threw the ball for 3,705 yards with 45 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. The Smoky Bears signal caller also had a 73% completion percentage while rushing for 124 yards and another three scores. Newman kept his team undefeated throughout the entire season until falling to Page in Chattanooga but all year long, this junior passer was near flawless, showing an improved skill set along with continuing to build his makeup as a winner.
