Vote: Who Is the Georgia High School Football Player of the Week? (Sept. 24-26)

Week 6 gave us 558 passing yards, seven-touchdown nights from two quarterbacks, another six-touchdown passing performance and a defensive end who spent a historic upset living in the other team’s backfield.

Apparently, narrowing this thing to 10 was supposed to be the easy part.

Each week during the high school sports season, High School On SI will gather Georgia football's best performances with help from fans, readers, and staff.

Now, it’s your turn to choose a standout among the pack, the best of the best.

Congratulations to last week's winner: Cason Carrigan of Eagle's Landing Christian.

Here are the nominees for Georgia High School Football Player of the Week for Sept. 24-26. Voting closes Sunday, Oct. 4 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The winner will be announced in the following week’s National High School Athlete of the Week post.
