Players were nominated by their respective coaches and selected by the 501 LIFE staff. Nominations were weighted equally between on- and off-the-field attributes.

“We love getting to share the stories of all of these student-athletes every year, and our eighth edition of the 501 Football Team is no exception,” said Levi Gilbert, associate editor. “With every county and so many different communities represented, we get the opportunity to share a diverse group of stories with our readers throughout the fall. Football in Central Arkansas is vibrant, and several of the teams represented this year by these remarkable honorees are on the brink of something truly special.”

The team recently met at Conway Christian School’s field for a photo shoot. In addition to being recognized in this year’s edition of 501 LIFE’s football preview issue, 501 Football 2018, each player will be featured individually throughout the fall online at 501lifemag.com and in 501 Sports Extra, 501’s sports e-newsletter.
