Vote: Who is the Mississippi High School Football Quarterback of the Year?

Today, we take a look at some of the best signal callers in the state of Mississippi from the 2025 season.

This season was one to remember in the state of Mississippi, and part of that is due to the terrific play from the quarterback position. Our nominees include a mixture of gunslingers and dual-threat quarterbacks who put on a show every single week, and because of that each nominee is worthy of a vote.

However, we will leave that up to you, the fan, to decide who is the High School on SI Mississippi high school quarterback of the year for 2025.

Voting will close on January 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Here are the nominations:

Chancelor comes in as our first nominee as he led the Magnolia State in passing yards this season. He completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,419 yards and 28 touchdowns. Chancelor also added two more scores on the ground.

This season, Mayes completed nearly 67 percent of his passes for 2,934 yards and 40 touchdowns with just seven interceptions. He also showed that he was one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the state this season. He rushed for 1,195 yards and 17 touchdowns on 122 carries.

Craft led the Oilers to an appearance to the Class 2A state championship after a terrific season as the signal-caller. He completed nearly 72 percent of his passes for 2,912 yards and 35 touchdowns with eight interceptions. Like Mayes, Craft was one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the state this season. He rushed for 1,027 yards and 17 touchdowns on 117 carries.

Stockett completed nearly 66 percent of his passes this season for 2,905 yards and 23 touchdowns with nine interceptions. He also rushed for one touchdown.

Stringer completed just shy of 61 percent of his passes this season for 2,783 yards and 37 touchdowns to seven interceptions. He added 144 yards on the ground with two touchdowns.

As the leader on the offense, and one of the leaders on the entire team, Nettles was outstanding all season long as he helped led the Admirals to the Class 7A state championship. He finished 2025 with a 66 percent completion percentage and 2,750 yards with 23 touchdowns. He added two more scores on the ground.

This season, Shettles completed nearly 62 percent of his passes for 2,730 yards and 28 touchdowns with only one interception. He also rushed for 325 yards and nine touchdowns on 67 carries.

Trivillion helped led the Pirates to 11 wins this season which is a school record thanks in part to his play from the quarterback position. He completed nearly 53 percent of his passes for 2,570 yards and 34 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. Trivillion also rushed for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns on 105 carries this season.

On top of completing nearly three-fourths of his passes, he passed for 2,534 yards with 20 touchdowns and just one interceptions. He also added 170 yards on the ground with three touchdowns.

Johnson completed over 50 percent of his passes for 2,510 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 488 yards and eight touchdowns on 104 carries.

MS governor says state is ready ahead of winter storm, projected ice

Mississippi is preparing for a significant winter storm with emergency supplies positioned statewide.
Governor Tate Reeves has activated the state Emergency Operation Center to distribute supplies.
Ice is projected across the state, with significant accumulation expected in the northwest.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation has been pre-treating roads and bridges since Wednesday.
Residents are urged to check on friends, family, and neighbors during the severe weather event.

State agents and private partners are positioned around the state with emergency supplies to support Mississippians this weekend ahead of the projected winter storm, said Gov. Tate Reeves at a Friday news conference at the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion in Jackson.

Local emergency managers are distributing blankets and cots, and four counties opened shelters Friday, with two more set to open Saturday afternoon. Reeves said he spoke with the White House to activate the state Emergency Operation Center, which has distributed supplies throughout the state.

“We do not have unmet needs at this time,” he said. “We’ll see if more support is needed over the next 48-72 hours.”

Reeves said ice is projected as far south as the Gulf Coast region, with significant ice and sleet expected in the northwest section of the state.

The state Department of Transportation has been treating roads and bridges since Wednesday, he said, but ice could remain in parts of Mississippi into next week if the temperature stays under freezing.

“The most important thing I can say to Mississippians is, over the next 48 to 72 hours, check on your friends, family and neighbors,” Reeves said.

Reeves said generators were ready to be deployed to long-term care facilities.

Reeves notes that while it was 55 degrees in Jackson on Friday afternoon, temperatures had already fallen to 38 in Tunica in the Northwest part of the state.

In the dark? How to report a power outage in Mississippi, see state tracker

A massive winter storm is set to sweep snow and freezing rain from New Mexico up to New England this weekend. Parts of Mississippi are expected to get debilitating accumulations of snow, ice or both in the system that will affect more than 24 states.

This week, Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore warned people to plan for potentially long power outages in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina.

“In a storm like this, FREEZING RAIN of that magnitude is a disaster. This could be where some of the biggest impacts lie simply because of extended power loss with very cold air to follow the storm,” he posted on X Wednesday morning.

AccuWeather noted that the winter weather will snarl roads and could delay traffic and close schools for days.

“Potentially hundreds of thousands of people may go without electricity and heat for days,” AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said in an online forecast.

Follow the National Weather Service and local meteorologists for the most current weather outlook for your town. Know how to report a power outage to a Mississippi utility company to get help as soon as possible, and check out a map of outages to see how many people are affected in the Magnolia State.

What does the Mississippi forecast call for?

Most of Mississippi will be affected by the winter storm. Northern parts of the state could see inches of snow, and a large swath will be affected by freezing rain that will turn into ice accumulations.

Forecasters have warned that some people around the country should plan for extended outages. They’re advised to buy enough food and water to survive without power for several days. Be sure homes are winterized and have emergency kits in your home or car.

Need to report a power outage in Mississippi?

The Mississippi Public Service Commission lists 61 electric utility providers across the state, including municipal providers and co-ops, sometimes called an Electric Power Association.
