Jonesboro-Hodge High School football fans recently enjoyed one of the better seasons in recent Tiger history, with JHHS reaching the LHSAA Class A quarterfinals. One of the main reasons the Tigers accomplished such tremendous success was the play and leadership of senior Dakota Knox.

Described as a “Swiss Army Knife,” who played multiple positions during the year, including quarterback, running back, wide receiver, safety, cornerback, punter, and punt returner, Knox earned District 1-1A MVP honors, after being chosen to the elite team as an athlete.

Knox has been nominated for Class A Player of the Year in a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated (SI.com) to be voted on by fans. One of 23 nominees from across the state, Knox ran and passed for more than a combined 1,800 yards while also being responsible for 29 touchdowns, and proved his tremendous leadership abilities by leading JHHS to an incredible five come-from-behind victories after trailing by two touchdowns or more at the half.

About the Voting

High School on SI voting polls are meant to be a fun, lighthearted way for fans to show support for their favorite athletes and teams. Our goal is to celebrate all of the players featured, regardless of the vote totals. Sometimes one athlete will receive a very large number of votes — even thousands — and that’s okay! The polls are open to everyone and are simply a way to build excitement and community around high school sports. Unless we specifically announce otherwise, there are no prizes or official awards for winning. The real purpose is to highlight the great performances of every athlete included in the poll. – SI.com
