Vote Now: Who should be SBLive’s Central Florida Offensive Player of the Week (Aug. 31-Sept. 2)?
ORLANDO, Florida – Central Florida football players didn’t let a little inclement weather rain on their parade last week.
Players from seven counties throughout Central Florida braved rainstorms and more and turned in some gutsy performances during Week 2 games. We scoured teams from Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard, and Indian River counties and nominated 21 athletes for this week’s SBLive Central Florida Offensive Football Player of the Week from Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
We ask you, the fan, to decide who should be the top player selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, Sept. 9, at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week’s poll.
Congratulations to last week’s winner: SBLive congratulates Cocoa junior WR/ATH Nicholas Teeter for winning the Central Florida Offensive Player of the Week for Aug. 24-26.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. The poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
