Best high school football player of all time

[UpperCumberlandMan]

Best two. I ever seen live were T. Payne-Trousdale, and Clay Whitehurst- Brentwood HS

[TimCase]

Jimmy Hull - Celina HS '85 should be mentioned, at least one of the best i played against. Jalen Hurd maybe as good as any HS player i have seen.

[UpperCumberlandMan]

The Taylor kid from Whitehouse in late 80's was awesome, so was Kevin Dirkson from Smith Co.....same era.

[bigreid]

Taylor was 90-91, right? Scott Dirkson was late 80s. T.C. Payne - Trousdale Co was phenomenal. Jalen Hurd is at the top of the list.

[REBELRON]

Here are the best I have seen

 

Aaron Douglas

 

Dante Hickey

 

Chad Henderson

 

Jalen Hurd

 

Travis Cozart

 

Billy Williams

 

Jason Witten

 

The best I ever saw was John Henderson. Henderson was a beast bigtime.

[BurtWonderstone]

If Hurd has another year this year like last he will be the best ever in TN no doubt. His performance in the state finals says it all.

Some names from yesteryear that haven't been mentioned:

- Buck Johnson (Cleveland ~'83; I still have a headache)

- Marvin(?) Stone (Kingston~'82)

- William Lundy (Alcoa); he was more electric with the ball than anyone I have ever seen in person

 

The best I saw on TV - John Henderson. No offense to Reginald White or Doug Atkins, but I never saw them in high school.

 

The best I saw in person - Mike Cofer of Rule High...Dominant, dominant, dominant

[orangecrush]

In no particular order here are the best that I have seen with my own eyes: Billy Williams, John Henderson, Eric Locke, Eddie Moore, Travis Stephens, Golden Tate, Ingle Martin, Patrick Turner, Shaun Summers, David Grogan, Jalen Hurd, and one obscure name Curtis Woodard.

#1 goes against what most ppl think of when they think of best player, but it a kid from a 1A school in west tennessee believe it or not. Patrick Willis.

Right again Stars. I knew it was Buck something. Yep, those headaches may explain my poor memory.

 

Anybody on here old enough to have seen Albert Davis play? Several years ago, I saw a video of his high school highlites, and I swear it looked like I was watching old clips of the great Jim Brown.
