Mr. Football Nominees for DII 1A

[FridayMainEvent]

I apologize if there is already a thread on this, but I didn't see one.   I got my ballot this week and would like some input of who is worthy.    Please include School, Name and most importantly, their jersey numbers (this is what we turn in on the ballot).   Any stats to support your nominee appreciated.    This year, only one Mr. Football per class so nominate backs and lineman here along with any kicker you deem worthy (Only one award for entire State at kicker).  Thanks

I would like to throw out the name Jajuan "Speedy" Foutch (#3) from Friendship Christian School.  Jajuan has 97 carries for 1,196 yards, with an average of 12.3 yards per carry and 19 TD's rushing through 8 games.  I realize that there are others with more yards and very deserving, but Speedy has not touched the field in the second half 4 times and has played all 4 quarters only twice.  He is absolutely electric with the ball in his hands and has tremendous speed.  He is being recruited by several D-1 and FCS programs alike.

I would have to say Darius Hylick #5 RB/OLB for Mount Juliet Christian Academy (MJCA). His sats are quite impressive as of 10/17/17 thru 7 games!!!

Total Yards: 1711yds

Touchdowns: 27 (Currently #2 in TN according to unapproved website)

Total Points: 164 (Currently #2 in TN according to unapproved website)

Games with SEVEN (7) TD's in a game this season: 2

(did not play RB in the 2nd half either game)

Games with SIX TD's in a game this season: 1 

Interceptions: 1

The TSSAA reduced this award this season to just one per class plus an overall kicker.  Terrible idea.  There should be one lineman and one skill player.  I don't see how a lineman will ever get this award moving forward:

Also, They announced this change in August for this year.  Again, terrible.  If it effects the current athletes they should have given them time to process through.  Making a decision like this during the current year is just simply a bad decision.

For what it's worth:

FCS Foutch, MJCA Hylick, TKA Burgess, NCS Myers, DA Hewitt & Stone, MTCS McGowan, Tipton Rowan.

Also it drives me nuts that the AP doesn't break down rankings for DII.  All three classes are in the top ten so we don't have rankings for this classification.  Like the TSSAA just lazy journalism.

No argument here.

Think the conversation ends with these four backs:

Da'joun Hewitt (#1 Davidson)

Darius Hylick (#5 MJCA)

Xavier Myers (#26 Nashville Christian)

Jajuan Foutch (#3 Friendship Christian)

 

Stone Norton (Davidson), Kemari McGowan (MTCS), Cole Lusbu (TKA) are also in the top tier.

+1 on those 4 backs. I honestly don't know much about the West teams though. Anybody got any stats for those teams in D2-A?

Head to Head, Myers(NCS) had more yards and TD than Hewitt(DA). Currently leads the state in rushing with 1662 and yards per game 237.4( nobody is close to that state. Lastly, he is at the top of the rushing leaders and he missed the first game of the season.  

Carguy you're right. Nuff said!
