A Buckeye has been named the Gatorade State Player of the Year for Pennsylvania for the third year in a row.
Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord received this year's edition of that award on Thursday, in recognition of his senior season at Philadelphia's St. Joseph's Prep, where he passed for 1,582 yards and 21 touchdowns in just six games to lead the Hawks to their third consecutive state championship.
It's another accolade for McCord in recognition of his final high school senior. He was already named as the national player of the year by the National High School Coaches Association in February.
