Tennessee high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams showcased more of what they’ve got heading into Week 7 of the regular season.

As such, we have 10 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Tennessee Football Player of the Week award from October 10-12, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected. 

Congratulations to last week’s winner:

Watkins made his two catches count in a 47-0 rout of Northwest, hauling in two passes for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
