As the 2026 high school football season looms on the horizon, Delaware fans are gearing up for a new round of bragging rights. This year, the spotlight is on the quarterbacks who will lead their teams onto the field, and the community is being asked to help decide who stands out as the best.
Voting for the top signal‑caller is now open, free of charge, and will remain so through July 2. The contest, presented by Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists, invites anyone to cast an unlimited number of ballots, ensuring that the most popular player can be crowned without restriction.
The results will be revealed on July 3, marking the start of a summer celebration that highlights the talent and dedication of the state’s rising athletes.
Who’s in the running?
Eight quarterbacks have been named as nominees for the honor: Jameson Bryant, Haleem Edwards, Chase Kennedy, Drew Marks, Isaiah Muhammad, Brady Nabb, William Teel and Jameson Tingle. Each brings a distinct skill set and a track record that has already turned heads across the state.
The nomination list reflects a blend of experience and fresh energy, with veterans and newcomers alike vying for the top spot. Their performances last season set a high bar, and the upcoming vote promises to capture the evolving dynamics of high school football in Delaware.
Beyond the personal accolade, the competition underscores a broader effort to celebrate athletic achievement and to engage the community in a shared narrative of sports excellence. As the countdown to July 2 ticks down, the conversation continues across social media, school halls and local gatherings.
When the winner is announced on July 3, the recognition will extend beyond a simple title, serving as a testament to the hard work of players, coaches and the supporters who cheer them on.
