Middle Tennessee High School Sports Awards: Meet the offensive, defensive football nominees
The Middle Tennessee High School Sports Awards is proud to announce the nominees for Offensive and Defensive Football Players of the Year. The winner will be announced during the live show to take place June 10 at Marathon Music Works.
The show is produced in partnership with Nissan.
The Middle Tennessee High School Sports Awards, one of 20 regional shows across the United States, is a nine-month student-athlete recognition program that will culminate at a red-carpet show this spring. The show will recognize athletes, coaches, and teams from the Mid-State.
During the live show, these nominees will be honored, along with the player of the year for each of the 24 other recognized sports. The awards showcase will also feature other premier awards for both on- and off-the-field accomplishments of student-athletes, coaches and teams, including a Courage Award and Coach of the Year, Team of the Year, and the Boys and Girls Athlete of the Year awards.
All nominees who RSVP will receive complementary tickets to the event at no charge thanks to sponsors. Nominated athletes can register here.
