Tennessee Titans Honor 2024 Mr. Football Winners

The Tennessee Titans saluted the state’s ten Mr. Football Award winners Tuesday. More than 400 people, including the honorees, their families, coaches, school administrators and members of the media attended the Mr. Football Awards luncheon at Nissan Stadium.

The awards were presented to the top football players in each of the nine classifications of the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association (TSSAA). The top kickers in the state were also recognized. 

“This is such an outstanding honor for all 30 of the young men recognized today at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards,” said Mark Reeves, Executive Director of the TSSAA. “They were here not only due to their athletic ability that they displayed on the field throughout the season but just as much for their outstanding character and academic achievements.”

“For decades, the Titans have made supporting high school and youth football programs a top priority. The athletes being honored today represent some of the most talented across the state – not only showing determination on the field, but also demonstrating tremendous character off the field,” said Burke Nihill, Titans President and CEO. “We are proud to support the Mr. Football Awards and highlight these incredible men who will be the leaders of tomorrow.”
