The TSSAA and the Tennessee Titans released finalists Tuesday night for the 2021 Tennessee Titans Mr. Football and Mr. Football Kicker awards.
You’ll find all the finalists below.
Semifinalists, finalists and winners were selected by a panel of statewide sports writers and media members with input from coaches and media from around the state.
Selections were based on regular-season performance alone, as well as academics and character.
What happens or has happened in the postseason DOES NOT alter the results in any way.
The winners will be unveiled at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 7, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Only the three finalists for each award will be invited to attend the awards ceremony and luncheon.
