The 25th annual Associated Press Ohio Mr. Football award was a no brainer, at least in my mind.

America's most prolific passer, Maty Mauk of Kenton High School was the unanimous winner of the award that was handed-out on Thursday.

Mauk is the country's top passer in passing yards in a career (18,006), pass attempts (1,287) and touchdowns (209).

On Saturday, Mauk and his father, Kenton head coach Mike Mauk, will go after the school's first-ever state championship in the Division IV title game.

Others under consideration were: Johnstown-Monroe running back Ross Franklin, Cincinnati Taft defensive lineman Adolphus Washington, Steubenville all-around star Najee Murray, Wadsworth running back Jack Snowball, Mentor quarterback Mitch Trubisky, Willoughby South running back Kareem Hunt and Cincinnati Moeller running back Monty Madaris.
