Kentucky high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams in the preseason showcased what they’ve got heading into Week 1 of the regular season.

As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Kentucky Football Player of the Week award from August 22-24, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.
