BLITZ Football Player of the Year watch list


BLITZ Sports just released a list of 82 area high school football players to keep an eye on this season. One of them stands a good shot at being named this year’s BLITZ Football Player of the Year.

Habersham’s Jackson Clouatre made the short list (15) of early favorites. The junior running back has a career total of 368 rushing yards, 5 touchdowns, and 30 receiving yards. He’s joined on the short list by Rabun County’s sophomore quarterback Gunner Stockton and senior wide receiver Braxton Hicks. Also on the short list for POY honors are White County junior quarterback J Ben Haynes, and Stephens County’s Gamarion Carter, Kenny Colwell, and Hudson Spurlock.

Habersham’s Arian Curry, Joshua Pickett, Patrick Tedder, and Tanner Wade made the BLITZ list of players poised for breakout roles this season. And Raider newcomers Garrett Heaton and Ryte Woodruff, a senior and expected starting quarterback, made the list of newbies to watch out for.
