Vote Now: Who should be SBLive’s Northeast Florida Offensive Player of the Week (Sept. 7-9)?
High school football is back in the Sunshine State and so begins our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams started off the regular season with some great individual performances in Week 3.
As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Northeast Florida Offensive Football Player of the Week award from September 7-9, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. Voting will conclude on Saturday, September 16 at 11:59 p.m. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.
Congratulations to last week’s winner: Jaidan Delaune, QB, Riverside.
Here are this week's nominations.
