McCallie School’s Alex Trotter pushes forward as Baylor defenders.Alex Trotter ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns against Pope John Paul II last week.
It would be considered a great performance for most, but it’s not even average for the McCallie senior whom the TSSAA announced Wednesday as a Tennessee Titans Division II-AA Mr. Football finalist.
Trotter is one of four Chattanooga-area athletes selected as state Mr. Football finalists, joining Signal Mountain lineman Harrison Moon, Marion County running back and linebacker Blake Zeman and Ooltewah kicker Laszlo Toser. All are seniors.
The Mr. Football winners (back and lineman, each classification, and one kicker) will be announced on Dec. 1 in Murfreesboro.
Heading into the Blue Tornado’s game Friday at Montgomery Bell Academy, Trotter is averaging 195 yards per game and has scored 32 touchdowns. His total is 2,145 yards, with four games of at least 200.
