Quarterback Morgan Newton, a University of Kentucky recruit who led the Carmel Greyhounds to three consecutive Class 5A tournament finals and the 2007 championship, is Indiana’s Mr. Football for 2008.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Newton was a dual threat at Carmel, passing for 1,938 yards and 22 touchdowns and running for 1,664 yards and 26 touchdowns in his senior season.
The award was sponsored by the Indianapolis Star.
Bishop Dwenger senior Tyler Eifert was among the six nominees for the award by virtue of being named the state’s top tight end, as decided by the Indiana Football Coaches Association.
