Florida high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams showcased what they’ve got in Week 1 of the regular season.

As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Northeast Florida Football Player of the Week award from August 29-31, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.


Congratulations to last week's winner: Tramell Jones, QB, Mandarin and Jack Mckissock of Oakleaf*
*Editor's note: The voting for this week's poll was scheduled to close at 11:59 pm on Sept. 1, but due to a software error remained open until 1 am and continued to count votes. In fairness to the two leading candidates, SBLive has decided to declare co-winners of this week's voting.


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.
