Arkansas high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 6 of the regular season.

As such, we have 12 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Arkansas Football Player of the Week award from October 3-5, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.


Congratulations to last week's winner: Jeremiah Dent, Marion

The super sophomore only needed four carries to churn out 120 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-7 win over Sylvan Hills.


SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. - SBLive Sports

Cameron Keller, Van Buren

Alongside Williford was Keller in the backfield and the running back went off, rushing for 214 yards on 26 carries and scoring a touchdown.

Bentz was very efficient in Batesville's 35-0 win over Paragould, completing 13-of-18 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns.

Jamari Williams, Gurdon

Williams was the leading running back in Gurdon's 39-36 win over Lafayette County, rushing for 86 yards on 24 carries and scoring two touchdowns.
