DeKalb County High School Quarterback Hunter Poteete is among three Class 3-A Back finalists named Tuesday for the 2008 Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Award.
A lineman and a back will be presented with a Mr. Football trophy for five classes in Division I and two classes in Division II. There will also be one kicker of the year.
The winners will be announced Dec. 1 at the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro.
The names of the finalists were published in the Wednesday, November 12th edition of the Tennessean.
Poteete has thrown for 2,572 yards and 34 touchdowns, this season, while adding 842 rushing yards and nine more touchdowns.
