Eight individuals have been nominated for the Mississippi high school football player of the week. | High School On SI

We are back for another week of the High School On SI Mississippi football player of the week poll, and we have some outstanding nominations for this week.

The Magnolia State has a history of producing some terrific running backs, and this week, we have two outstanding backs up as nominees. We also nominated Jacory Ruffin of Starkville, who is a do-it-all athlete for the Yellow Jackets.

Our list of offensive nominees continue as three quarterbacks and one wide receiver made the our list after they put together some terrific performances for their respective teams.

Lastly, as we round out our list of nominees this week, there was one defensive playmaker who was a nightmare for the opposing team the entire game.

Each player nominated deserves your recognition, and you can vote for each nominee for an unlimited amount of times before the poll closes on Sunday.

Voting will close on October 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
