Fifteen players from our coverage area were announced as semifinalists for the 2020 Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards.
Five semifinalists were announced in each class and for Kicker of the Year (regardless of classification). A committee of statewide sportswriters selected winners based on 2020 regular season performance, with academics and character taken into consideration. Voting concluded earlier this week. High school head coaches and media members nominated the finalists. Postseason performance has no bearing on the winners.
Three finalists will be announced for each award by Mike Keith on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. Central on the Titans website at www.titansonline.com. Each finalist will be invited to attend the awards luncheon at Nissan Stadium on Tuesday, Dec. 8.
