Northeast Florida High School Football Player of the Week (10/22/2024)

High school football is back in Florida and that begins our Player of the Week poll for areas across the state. In Week 8 of the regular season, the teams showed what they can do.

That’s why this week we’ve nominated 11 athletes for SBLive’s Northeast Florida Football Player of the Week honors for October 14-19, and we’re asking you, the fans, to help decide who is actually the top athlete should be selected.

In West Nassau’s 34-19 win over rival Fernandina Beach, Freeman ran wild, rushing for 114 yards and scoring three touchdowns.

SBLive Voting polls are designed to be a fun way to generate fan engagement and show support for your favorite high school athletes and teams.
