PLAYER OF THE YEAR FINALIST: Donovan Jackson, Episcopal
The PRESIDENT. Donovan Jackson is impressive on the football field, but the dude is so polished off the field he could be the president of something when his college career is over. The OL is off to The Ohio State as he continues to build his football resume. He was named the Anthony Munoz Lineman of the Year by the All-American Bowl.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR FINALIST: Maddox Kopp, St. Thomas
