Miller nominated for player of the year

Mountain Home's "Touchdown" Tommy Miller has recently been nominated for the Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year award.

Miller joins a select group of players who are eligible to be selected as a national Red Zone Player of the Year and be honored in a full-page feature in a national print publication.

For the ninth straight year, Old Spice is recognizing high school football players who go "above and beyond" the call of duty, particularly in the Red Zone.

The program honors athletes who are "able to elevate their play and step up when the heat is really on. These athletes embody leadership, performance and desire, and serve as examples to their teammates on and off the field."

High school coaches across the country are naming one player from their team as their Player of the Year. The player that is chosen will receive a certificate to acknowledge his accomplishment and will also be eligible to be named one of 50 national Players of the Year.

The top 50 players nationwide will be named Red Zone Players of the Year and will receive a plaque and other awards.
