Who are the preseason best bets for the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football finalists?
With the start of the 2026 high school football season a little over a week away, here are my thoughts on who is in line currently to be a Tennessee Titans Mr. Football finalist.
Now injuries happen and things can change at any point, but going into the season, these players stand head of the others.
Finalists are listed in alphabetical order.
Class 1A
Cole Brown, McKenzie
Dayon Cooper, South Pittsburg
Darion Taylor, Humboldt
Class 2A
Dallas Covington, East Nashville
Kenton Smith, Huntingdon
Kason Young, East Robertson
Class 3A
Asa Barnes, Westview
