The Michigan Mr. Football is an award given to the best high school football player from the state of Michigan. It is presented by State Champs Sports Network and is sponsored by Hungry Howie's. Fan voting is used to determine one nominee for the final four candidates, and the award is given based on the player's performance that season. Athletes at any grade-level can be selected.[1][2]
