Nobody is officially "in the running" yet.   Deadline to turn "nominations" in isn't until tomorrow.   Each TSSAA media outlet ( a list of official media outlets can be found on their website)  is requested to submit 3 names per class and 3 kickers total.   

From those "nominees" the TSSAA will determine the semi-finalists.   All that means is the local newpaper guy in Lynchburg submitted two kids from Moore County.   Nothin more.

P.S.   It's very common for a local paper to take care of the local product in these nominations.   Nothing unusual about that.

Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards

Tennessee's best high school football players for 2019 were recognized at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards dinner hosted by the Tennessee Titans in December. 

More than 400 people, including the honorees, their families, coaches, school administrators and members of the media from all parts of the state, attended the 2019 luncheon at Nissan Stadium. 

"This is such an outstanding honor for all 30 of the young men recognized today at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards," said Bernard Childress, Executive Director of the TSSAA. "They were here not only due to their athletic ability that they displayed on the field throughout the season, but just as much for their outstanding character and academic achievements."  

High school head coaches and members of the media nominated the finalists. A committee of statewide sports writers selected winners based on performance in the 2019 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration. 

The awards were presented to the top football players in each of the nine classifications of the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association. The top kickers in the state were also recognized. There were three finalists in this category, regardless of their school's classification.
