MaxPreps and USA Football will team up each week throughout the season to select Players of the Week.
The MaxPreps/USA Football Players of the Week honors eight top high school football performers each week throughout the United States.
Selected by USA Football, players are chosen based upon statistics that are submitted to MaxPreps.com. Each winner receives a certificate and a letterman patch to showcase the honor.
To nominate players, coaches or team administrators must enter the athlete's game stats by Monday evening of each week.
