Florida high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for areas all around the state. Teams showcased what they’ve got in Week 2 of the regular season.

As such, we have 15 athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s Tampa Bay Football Player of the Week award from September 5-7, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.

Larson was a tackling machine in the Bulls’ 33-25 win over Blake, making a team-high 16 tackles.

SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. – SBLive Sports

Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sep. 15th. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:

Leading the shutout effort for the Panthers was Conze on the defensive line as he tallied three sacks and two tackles went for a loss.
