Dante Johnson-Turner, Mount Dora, running back: A highlight reel at the running back position, Johnson-Turner has been piling up the yards from the backfield like crazy. The senior has rushed for 1,526 yards on 185 attempts and has scored 23 touchdowns.

Jason Patterson, Sneads, running back: Over in the panhandle area of Florida, one of the state’s most prolific runners has been Sneads’ running back Jason Patterson. Patterson has been piling up the yards and touchdowns, with 1,632 on the ground and 25 touchdowns.

Jamarkus Jefferson, Northview, running back: The panhandle’s other productive running back was Jefferson, who has helped Northview to a 8-0 record. Jefferson has rushed for 1,420 yards, scored 28 touchdowns and he also has 235 receiving, two scores.

John Celestin, Lake Minneola, running back: Though the senior running back hasn’t produced the kind of yardage that some of the other backs have, Celestin has scored aplenty. Celestin has 129 attempts for 965 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Kenari Wilcher, Moore Haven, wide receiver: The state’s leading receiver comes from an area you would least expect it. Wilcher, Moore Haven’s top wideout, has caught 37 passes for 1,055 yards (28.5 per catch average) and scored 11 touchdowns.
