Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sep. 30th. The winner will be announced in the following week's poll. Here are this week's nominees:

Amari Clemons, RB, Marianna

Clemons is the engine to the Bulldogs’ offense. The running back has touched the ball 59 times for 728 yards and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground. Also has five catches for 102 yards. 

Von Keller, RB, Choctawhatchee

The sophomore running back is averaging nearly a first down every time he touches the football. Keller has carried the rock 69 times for 532 yards (7.7 yard per carry) and three touchdowns. 

Sammy Freitas, QB, Mosley

The Dolphins' signal caller has played efficiently and effectively, with most importantly taking care of the football. Freitas has thrown for 615 yards, nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. 

Wells Bettenhausen, QB, Walton

Looking at the kind of impact Bettenhausen has had on the Braves is looking at how well they're played offensively this season. The quarterback has completed 69 percent of his passes for 900 yards and 10 touchdowns. 

Connor Mathews, RB, Niceville

Not many running backs are producing in the kinda way Mathews is on a weekly basis. The UMass commitment has 55 attempts for 523 yards and has found pay dirt three times. 

Jaymes Youngblood, RB, Jay

Now we know there’s some players who might play in higher classifications and what not, but you can’t ignore the play of the sophomore back. The tailback has rushed for 402 yards and scored seven touchdowns this season. 

Christian Neptune, WR, Tate

It’s been a solid season so far for the undefeated Aggies and you don’t have to look too much further than the play of Neptune out at wide receiver. Neptune has hauled in 15 passes for 295 yards and five touchdowns through three games. 

Will Cotter, QB, Arnold

The first-year Marlins quarterback has been playing well through a 3-0 start, completing 32-of-57 passes for 612 yards and six touchdowns. Expect big things from the signal caller as the season continues.

AG Floyd, RB, Pensacola

Pensacola has them a gem in Floyd coming out of the backfield on Friday nights. The Tigers' running back this season has carried the rock 53 times for 505 yards and five touchdowns.

Ryan Huff, QB, Pensacola Catholic

We know all about what kind of talent the Crusaders have, but not enough about what Huff has done this season. The quarterback through three games has completed 35-of-49 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns.
