Richland Northeast High School quarterback Will Wilson was honored as the 2024 S.C. Mr. Football.
Wilson made history as the first Richland Northeast recipient of the award since its inception in 1995. Over 10 games, he compiled 2,482 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, while adding 1,144 rushing yards and 20 more scores.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” Wilson says. “I owe so much to my coaches, teammates and father for their encouragement and support through every challenge.”
Wilson was one of five finalists for the state’s top honor. Joining him in contention for the trophy were Westside quarterback Cutter Woods, Belton-Honea Path running back Marquise Henderson, Rock Hill wide receiver Malik Clark and Gaffney offensive lineman Shedrick Sarratt. Each finalist distinguished himself on and off the field, but it was Wilson’s versatile skill set and leadership that propelled him to the pinnacle of South Carolina high school football.
