Johne’ss Davis of Athens Christian, Aaron Philo of Prince Avenue Christian and Sacovie White of Cass are the state’s leading rusher, passer and receiver through the first three weeks of the season.
Davis, a preseason all-state running back, has rushed for 251, 199 and 255 yards in his three games, all Athens Christian victories. Davis rushed for 1,789 yards as a sophomore and 1,601 as a junior. He has now rushed for more than 4,000 yards in his team’s past 24 games, some that he missed last season because of injury.
Philo, the successor to AJC all-class player of the year Brock Vandagriff at Prince Avenue, is the passing leader. His 554-yard effort last month against Christian Academy of Knoxville is one of the five most prolific passing games in state history.
White, the receiving leader, is a sophomore with an offer from Maryland. He’s 5 feet, 10 inches but can dunk a basketball and “can play any position in the field including QB if needed,” according to his coach, Steven Gates.
The leaderboard will run each Friday through the regular season.
