With the exciting, action-packed high school football season now completed and seven deserving WIAA state champions crowned, the time has arrived to take another look back at some of the top players throughout the state of Wisconsin and let you vote on who you think was the best of the best.

Over the course of the season we looked at the talented quarterbacks, hard-working running backs, versatile wide receivers, standout tight ends, hard-hitting linebackers, tough offensive linemen, hard-nosed defensive linemen, athletic defensive backs, explosive edge rushers, and poised place kickers so now let's focus on the high-caliber punters from throughout the state.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in Wisconsin, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive.

Voting remains open until December 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
