Vote: Who Was the Indiana High School Football Player of the Week? (Sept. 17-19, 2026)

Another weekend of Indiana high school football is in the books, and once again, the state's top players gave fans plenty to talk about. From massive rushing totals to quarterbacks filling up the stat sheet, this week's Indiana Player of the Week nominees put together performances that demanded attention.

There were even some notable defensive performances that stood out, although all those players were also effective on offense. And one of those defenders from Tipton had what might be the best statistical numbers of the week across the board.

Congratulations to last week's winner: Logan Parks of New Palestine.

Overall, it's a mix of star performers from top 25 programs like Decatur Central, Indianapolis Bishop Chatard, Merrillville, New Palestine, and Zionsville along with those hometown heroes from smaller towns like Tipton represented this week.

Now it's your turn to decide which performance deserves the spotlight. We've gathered all of this week's nominees and put them together for this week's fan vote. Vote as many times as you like for your choice!

Read about all 12 candidates below and cast your vote. Voting will remain open through Sept. 27 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The winner will be announced in next week's poll.

Durham also made his presence felt on defense with seven tackles, including one for loss, while recovering a fumble.
