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 6 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 September 26-28, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.


Congratulations to last week's winner: Yerawn Smith, Englewood

Another running back that had a huge night on the ground was Smith for the Rams, as the junior rushed for 183 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns.

The Toros' quarterback led the way in a 46-26 victory over Bartram Trail, completing 12-of-18 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns.

The Broncos' quarterback helped fuel the team's 24-14 victory over Orange Park last week, throwing for 158 yards, a touchdowns and added another on the ground.
