Presented by VTO Sports. Each week we track the top performers across North Carolina high school football in the Mr. Football Race, ranking players from 1A through 8A together in one statewide list. These rankings are based on the Solomon Rating, a formula that weighs a player’s total production on offense, defense, and special teams, while also factoring in efficiency, consistency, and team success. The goal is to spotlight the athletes making the biggest all-around impact on Friday nights — regardless of classification.
