| Last year's winners of Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards. The 2009 winners will be honored Nov. 30. |
"High school football in Tennessee enjoys a great tradition throughout the state and we are pleased to join the TSSAA for the third consecutive year in saluting these fine young men at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards," said Adams. "The young men that are recognized with these awards are truly the best of the best! They are selected not only for their football skills, but for their strong character and academic achievements and we're honored to join the TSSAA in saluting them!"
A committee of statewide sports writers selected winners based on performance in the 2009 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration. High school head coaches and members of the media nominated the finalists.
"We're very thankful to Mr. Adams and the Tennessee Titans for their continued commitment to high school athletics," stated Bernard Childress, Executive Director of the TSSAA.
"We are obviously excited and appreciative about being involved with the Tennessee Titans. They have helped make the recognition of the 33 student-athletes, their families, and schools possible," added Childress.
This is the twenty-fifth year that the Mr. Football Awards have been presented to Tennessee's best high school football players. Plaques will be presented to 22 other finalists.
Approximately 600 people, including the honorees, their families, coaches, school administrators and members of the media from all parts of the state, are expected to attend the 2009 luncheon.
Mike Keith, play-by-play voice of the Tennessee Titans, will emcee the awards presentations. Live videostream of the awards will be provided for free by the Tennessee High School Sports Network (THSSN). Those interested can watch the awards by going to www.tssaa.org.
