Greetings, PA High School Football Fans!  There have been many outstanding team and individual performances thus far across the state.  Now it is time to start nominating the best football players in Keystone state! SportsRecruiters.com has announced it will sponsor the thirteenth annual Mr. Pennsylvania football awards program after the immense success of previous years.  Nominations for the 2022 Mr. PA Football Awards will open on November 15, 2022.  A student-athlete must have participated in the 2022 football season in order to be eligible for a 2022 Mr. PA Football Nomination.  The nominations deadline is set for January 5, 2023, but subject to change.

The Mr. PA Football Awards will be presented on March 11, 2023, to the best high school football players in Pennsylvania. There will be two awards presented; one for the Small School Mr. Football which will consist of class 1A, 2A, and 3A players, and one for the Big School Mr. Football which will consist of class 4A, 5A, and 6A players.  The players will be chosen by football fans, sportswriters/ sportscasters, and coaches from around the state.  Fans will be able to nominate and vote for their favorite players, and the media panel from major media markets as well as coaches from across the state will be nominating and voting for the outstanding players.  The fans, the media, and the coaches will each represent 1/3 of the vote.

Again, new classifications have been established by the PIAA in 2016 and as a result, Mr. PA Football will continue to classify the Small School Award as 1A-3A, and the Big School Award as 4A-6A.  Also, in addition to the Mr. PA Football Award this year, there will again be a separate category of nominations for the Mr. PA Football Lineman Awards.  The nomination list for the Lineman Awards will be acquired from the nominations for Mr. PA Football.  The Lineman Awards will use the same classifications as Mr. PA Football.  The voting for each round and the winners will be chosen by a selection panel.  The selection panel is comprised of media members as well as coaches.  The Mr. PA Football Lineman Award winners will be announced on February 16, 2023.
