Michael Mayer is the best football player in the state. He will be a force at Notre Dame and we will see him playing on Sundays.

However Reese Smith is just as deserving for Mr Football in my eyes. He has a better high school legacy than Mayer or Allen. But won’t be as good at the next level.

This is probably the hardest Mr Football race I can think of in a long time.

The best high school player based upon stats and awards is Reese Smith.

And it may be your opinion that Mayer will have a better college/pro career than Smith but I can tell you that from what I've heard the staff at WVU felt like Smith would have started in the slot this season as a true freshman. What Mayer does at ND not only is irrelevant it has nothing to do with Mr Football (see Rondale Moore).

Based upon what we know (football played) Smith deserves Mr Football. Allstate on both sides of the ball and the complete domination of a state title game is all the proof I need.
