Dec. 23—CUMBERLAND — After producing one of the best offensive seasons in local history in 2023, Jabril Daniels outdid himself in his senior campaign.
The Fort Hill back delivered the area’s eighth 2,000-yard rushing season and tied the city touchdown record again with 34 scores. Daniels was also a true two-way standout, racking up 106 tackles as a linebacker.
Daniels shared the Offensive Player of the Year last year, but he did one better in 2024, as the area’s head coaches selected him as Player of the Year.
“It’s an excellent honor for a kid who has been as consistent as he has been for the last two-and-a-half, three years,” Fort Hill head coach Zack Alkire said.
“Great kid who has an awesome personality. Great work ethic. Works hard in the classroom. Everything you want in a student-athlete. As great as he is on the field, he’s even better off the field.”
The area football awards were chosen at a meeting of the area’s head coaches last Monday.
State champions Frankfort and Fort Hill split the honors.
Frankfort’s Jullian Pattison won the Morton W. Peskin Sr. Memorial Offensive Player of the Year, Daniel Marley was named John B. “Jack” Gilmore Memorial Lineman of the Year and Kevin Whiteman took home Coach of the Year.
Fort Hill’s Nick Willison, the area’s leading tackler, was named Pepsi-Cola Defensive Player of the Year on Friday.
Daniels is Fort Hill’s third Player of the Year in the last four years and 12th in the last 15. A Sentinel has either won or shared the honor 22 times since the award was established in 1973.
Daniels received six votes, and Pattison nabbed the other.
The senior backed up a record-setting junior season by carrying the ball 230 times for 2,276 yards and 33 touchdowns this year. He added a fumble return for a score to match his total TD mark of 2023.
Daniels edged Josh Page’s 2,274 rushing yards…
