Video: National Football Player of the Year Watch ListTwo future UCLA Bruins make a first-time appearance along with eight others. See the video above for a complete breakdown of all 10 players selected to our third and final installment of the National Player of the Year watch list.
Three new faces appear among the favorites to claim the 2017 MaxPreps National High School Football Player of the Year award, and all have their teams in contention for a state title.
Obviously, you have to put up big-time numbers to be named Player of the Year, but, more importantly, it comes down to wins and losses. The 10 players selected have gone a combined 130-3 in 2017.
Seven of the 10 finalists are quarterbacks, two are wide receivers and only one running back was selected this time. Nine of the players are committed to Power 5 conferences, including two who are pledged to the No. 1 team in college football — Clemson.
