Finalists for the 2025 Tennessee Titans TSSAA Mr. Football awards were announced Tuesday night during the Titans coach’s show in Nashville.
See the entire list of statewide finalists below in nine classifications and also in one category for Mr. Football Kicker.
Final voting has been completed.
How a player performs in the postseason has NO bearing on the outcome of the Mr. Football Awards, which are based solely off regular-season accomplishments.
High school football coaches and media around the state nominated players, and a select committee of statewide media members picked the semifinalists, finalists and winners based on: performance, ability, academics and character. Semifinalists were named on Nov. 6.
Winners will be presented during a ceremony at Nissan Stadium the week after the BlueCross Bowl Championships.
That ceremony is currently slated for Tuesday, Dec. 9, in Nashville.
