Supporters of Gaines Reeves are urging voters to name him Mississippi’s top returning linebacker in a fan poll hosted by The Clarion-Ledger.
A Facebook post from a family member said Reeves is “one of the best linebackers in our state” and encouraged readers to follow a link to the Clarion-Ledger to cast ballots. The post emphasized pride in Reeves’ work on and off the field.
The Clarion-Ledger, a major Mississippi newspaper that regularly covers high school sports, is offering readers a chance to weigh in on top returning players through online voting. Fan polls and local media coverage often raise the profiles of high school athletes as they prepare for upcoming seasons.
High school football occupies an important place in Mississippi communities, where standout players can attract attention from college recruiters and local fans alike. Linebackers play a central defensive role, often tasked with stopping the run and making key tackles.
Details about Reeves’ school, statistics and the poll deadline were not provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
