Mr. Football Walker Wood - Lafayette High School

[PAPA PIGSKIN]

I know there are plenty of deserving candidates for the 2016 Mr. Football Award. Walker Wood should be a frontrunner. I want to provide Walker Wood's numbers for this season. Along with very impressive #'s for his career(including a very elite club that maybe only he is a member of?).

 

Through 9.5 games this season(Scott Co game was called at the start of the 3rd quarter):

-2,083 passing yards, 18 TD

-863 rushing yards, 20 TD

 

Career #'s:

7,448 passing yards, 60 TD

3,741 rushing yards, 64 TD

 

I don't know the stats of every player in the history of KHSAA football, but has there ever been another player in the 60/60 club for his career? If so, then the list of members has to be short.

 

Walker is a phenomenal football player, student and all-around teenager. Nothing but 1st class in all aspects of his life. Good Luck to him and his Generals the rest of this season. Look forward to a bright future at UK from this young man.

I think this thread title needs to be changed. It gives the impression that Walker Wood was named Mr. Football.

[PAPA PIGSKIN]

I went to "edit" and it wont let me change the title of the thread, only the content. If a mod wants to just make it "Walker Wood- Lafayette- Mr. Football Candidate" then feel free.

I think Henderson at Butler co 52 rushing and 71 passing he has a outside chance at 60-60 club.

Litten has 55 rushing and 47 passing has an outside shot at 60-60 club.

But I think Wood deserves the award

Impressive numbers.

He's probably got a great shot at winning it.

Strong playoff run and it is his.

Strong playoff run and it is his.

 

Agreed. He gets his team far in the playoffs and it really sets him up to win it.
