Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards - TennesseeTitans.com

Each year, Tennessee's best high school football players are recognized at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards luncheon hosted by the Tennessee Titans.

Honorees, their families, coaches, school administrators and members of the media from all parts of the state attend the awards 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 Mark Reeves, Executive Director of the TSSAA. "They're 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."

"For decades, the Titans have made supporting high school and youth football programs a top priority. The athletes being honored today represent some of the most talented across the state – not only showing determination on-the-field, but also demonstrating tremendous character off-the-field," said Burke Nihill, Titans President and CEO. "We are proud to support the Mr. Football Awards and highlight these incredible men who will be the leaders of tomorrow."

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

The awards are 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 are also recognized. There are three finalists in this category, regardless of their school's classification.

The Titans became sponsors of the Mr. Football Awards in 2007.
