ANN ARBOR — And just like that, the regular season is done.
While several Ann Arbor-area football teams will continue into the postseason, we’re looking back at how the top players from the area performed during the 2026 campaign.
MLive/The Ann Arbor News kept track of the progress of the area’s top offensive standouts throughout the year, and we are ready to release the leaderboard following Week 9 games.
This list of statistics included are: Passing completions, passing percentage, passing yards and passing touchdowns. Rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, and receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
This list is based on the stats that are sent to MLive-The Ann Arbor News each week, so there may be some players not listed because their team has not reported stats, or some stats are missing in the report.
If you notice any discrepancies, please email gwickliffe@mlive.com. Coaches have also been asked to send in stats each week.
Check out the offensive leaders after Week 9.
