2017 TN Titans Mr. Football Award Nominations

[CoachT]

(CoachT: this topic is for your honest, POSITIVE input on Mr. Football candidates from around the state. Voters like myself need to know about the most deserving players from all over the state. If you have a thread already going them post a link to it below. All ballots must be in by Friday, October 27th. Negative comments do not influence voters.)

For the 11th consecutive year, the Tennessee Titans continue to serve as the title sponsor for the Mr. Football Awards. The TSSAA is very appreciative of the generosity of the Titans' organization for their financial support of these awards and for its wide-ranging support of student-athletes across our state.

The format this year will see the elimination of the Back and Lineman categories. There will be one Mr. Football award per class. There will be five semi-finalists announced for each class (as well as the Kicker of the Year) and three finalists in each class will be honored at the awards luncheon (total of 30), with 10 winners being named.

The three finalists for each award will be announced by Mike Keith on the Titans website at TitansOnline.com on November 13. Those players will be recognized at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football awards luncheon at Nissan Stadium, where the winner of each award will be announced.

You are asked to nominate up to three players in each classification for the Mr. Football Award. You are also asked to nominate three players, regardless of classification, for the Mr. Football Kicker of the Year award. It is not necessary to select three players for each award, but that is your option. If you feel an individual player is one of the top three players in both categories, then you may list him in both.

These votes are a nominating process only. A selection committee will meet to choose the Mr. Football Award winners.

In order for your ballot to be counted, it must be submitted no later than FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27. Please take some time, discuss this with your staff and fill out the online ballot. Thank your for your help in honoring Tennessee's finest.

#1 & 48 for Boyd have been riddled with injuries the past two years but are very worthy.  Work ethic, grades, stats(when healthy), leadership are qualities that they possess and should not be overlooked because their stats don't reflect numbers. Great players with injuries should not be over looked.

Xavier Myers should win this award for Divison 2 1A. His stat line is amazing. He has 2174 rushing yards on the year, which is good for first in the state in rushing yards, and 20th in the entire country. He also averages an amazing 241.6 rushing yards a game. On top of that, he has 30 rushing touchdowns, good for 2nd in the state. He also missed the first game of the season, and is still leading in rushing yards, rushing yards per game, and 2nd in touchdowns.

His last game against Tipton-Rosemark was amazing. He had 23 rushes for 389 yards and 7 touchdowns. He should've had 8 touchdowns but fumbled one right before the end zone. Those 7 touchdowns put Xavier tied 8th in TSSAA record books in rushing touchdowns in a game. 

Xavier has talent and that of course is obvious. Defenses know that the run is coming and still can't stop him. I would also give his offensive line a ton of credit. His offensive line is very experienced and that has shown this season. Nashville Christian has been known the last few years to produce running back after running back, and Xavier is another one of those products that will make it to the next level.

Friendship Christian has a Running Back that is very deserving! He has put up some unreal numbers much like many others in the loaded RB division. The only difference is he has had little to no production in the 4th quarter this year.... Because they are up so bad. this needs to be taken into consideration when the award is handed out. the numbers are there regardless of the number of snaps. Oh yeah, not to mention he is on very possibly the best team in the division.
