Brett Godwin from Lakeland Prep is absolutely BALLING out, already stacking up 1,578 passing yards and 20 touchdowns with only two interceptions. Seriously? Those are midseason numbers, folks! The Commercial Appeal just dropped their list of top offensive players in the Memphis area, and now they want us, the fans, to vote on who’s been the best so far. Good luck picking just one after seeing these stats.
The QB Battle Is RED HOT
Godwin’s insane numbers are the tip of the iceberg for Memphis signal-callers. Nate Brick, the sophomore from Christian Brothers, has already cleared 1,019 yards passing and 11 touchdowns through Week 5, completing a ridiculous 70.3% of his throws. Then there’s Cayden Dixon at Briarcrest, who’s been super efficient, hitting 72% of his passes for 848 yards and 13 touchdowns. His Saints squad is putting up at least 38 points *every single game*. Don’t sleep on Canon Day from Houston either; the dude is a true dual-threat, throwing for 896 yards and rushing for another 407. He accounted for 16 total touchdowns and practically willed Houston to that big Week 5 win over Bartlett. Even Lawrence Britt, the Missouri commit from Lausanne, has 573 passing yards, 148 rushing yards, and three rushing TDs, despite throwing four picks. Ford Lamar at St. George’s is right there too with 807 yards and nine touchdowns. And Jour’din Shelton, the three-star transfer for Whitehaven, has that team at 5-1 with his elite dual-threat ability and explosive arm talent. Seriously, how do you even choose?
Running Backs & Wideouts Putting On A Show
It’s not just quarterbacks getting it done. Octavius Flynn, the running back for Briarcrest, is Dixon’s partner in crime, rushing for 545 yards and a whopping 12 total touchdowns. Reginald Banks from Melrose is electric, averaging 13.1 yards per carry, with 772 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, cracking 100 yards in five of six games! Khamoni Williams, the Auburn commit from Southwind, is another powerful runner, averaging 12.7 yards per carry with nine touchdowns. Derreon Martin at Memphis Central is also a dual threat on the ground with 544 rushing yards (8.1 YPC) and 256 receiving yards.
And the wide receivers? Pierce Washington from Bartlett is a matchup nightmare with his size and vertical ability, grabbing 21 catches for 310 yards and five scores. Dylan Allen at Arlington leads his team with 16 receptions for 272 yards. But the volume king? Tae Walden Jr., the four-star Oregon commit from Collierville, leads his team with 41 receptions for 539 yards and five touchdowns. This kid is doing it all.
This poll isn’t just a popularity contest, it’s a testament to the incredible talent lighting up the Memphis area this season. You’ve got until Saturday, October 3, at 5 p.m. to make your voice heard. Who’s your pick for the top offensive player at midseason? It’s a tough one, but someone has to win. Get your votes in!
