ARLINGTON — Gilmer quarterback Darian Godfrey added another trophy to a growing list on Saturday when he was named the Built Ford Tough Class 3A Texas High School Player of the Year.
Godfrey received the honor at the annual Built Ford Tough Player of the Year banquet held at Cowboys Stadium. The award is co-sponsored by Ford and the Dallas Cowboys.
Top players were named in six divisions on Saturday, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A and private schools. Those players came from a list of 10 Players of the Week named in each division throughout the 2009 high school football season.
Godfrey earned Class 3A player of the week honors in September following Gilmer's 70-27 win over Kilgore. In that game, Godfrey completed 25 of 28 passes for 384 yards and four touchdowns — completing passes to 11 different receivers — while rushing for 47 yards and three touchdowns.
For the season, Godfrey completed 254 of 357 passes for 3,581 yards with 42 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 848 yards and 22 scores, leading the Buckeyes to the Class 3A Division I state championship.
Godfrey was Class 3A Player of the Year on the Texas Sports Writers Association All-State Team, the Associated Press Sports Editor's All-State Team and was the offensive MVP on the Longview News-Journal's All-East Texas Football Team.
The Buckeye quarterback signed with New Mexico in February.
Other Player of the Year honorees were: Class 5A — Jeremy Johnson, John Tyler; Class 4A — Scotty Young, Denton Ryan; Class 2A — Nate Jeffery, Caddo Mills; and Class 1A — Traylon Shead, Cayuga.
Congratulations to our Stump!!
