NorthWood's NiTareon Tuggle named to SBLive's All-America team

Explosive wide receiver is headed to Georgia next year

SBLive's 2023 high school football All-America team was announced on Friday afternoon and NorthWood senior NiTareon Tuggle, the top wide receiver in Indiana, was one of the players honored.

Tuggle earned one of the two wide receiver spots on the All-America squad after leading the state of Indiana in receiving yards (1,456) and scoring 19 touchdowns as the Panthers finished as the runner-up in Class 4A.

NorthWood went 12-3 this season. 

From the story: 

The Georgia signee led the state of Indiana in receiving yards (1,456 yards, 19 TDs) and helped NorthWood reach the Class 4A state championship after an offseason departure to and return from national power IMG Academy. He caught a TD pass in every playoff game and set program records for touchdowns (41), receptions (173) and receiving yards (2,866). He was a menace in all phases, returning kicks for touchdowns on special teams and making 25 tackles and three interceptions as a senior on defense.
