The BLITZ Hall of Fame. Since 2016, we’ve inducted the best of the best dating back to 2009 in the BLITZ-era among teams in our coverage area. To date, we have 284 players in the BLITZ Hall of Fame. It’s now time to enshrine a new crop of talent. Vote as OFTEN as you’d like (unlimited). Top vote-getters (up to 3 or 4 per sport depending on the voting numbers) will be inducted, as well as some with the Producer’s Pass if we feel they were more than worthy but weren’t backed with the votes. Voting closes June 15!

CRITERIA

• Many of these players were household names and automatically in the running. While not ALL players that were considered are on the ballot for this year, they are still up for future consideration.
• MUST be in our coverage area. If you’re not familiar with it, check out the footer of our website for the list of schools included.
• MUST be between 2009-Present. There are a couple of exceptions, but this is not all-time in the state of Georgia.
• MUST be out of high school. No player/athlete can be in prior to graduating from their high school.

DISCLAIMER: If you feel someone was overlooked, that was not intentional. We opened it up for the public and coaches to nominate back in May. Please check first to make sure the player isn’t already inducted (BLITZ Hall of Fame) or that they’re not mentioned below as a “future consideration” and then please email Brian Carter to get someone on the radar for future consideration.

NOTES: Voting runs through June 15, is unlimited, and results are shown initially but hidden about halfway through to ensure that elected members are not known until an official press release.
