Week 12 Player of the Week: Sandy Creek’s Amari Latimer

Sandy Creek’s Amari Latimer is a four-star prospect committed to Wisconsin but only the fourth-highest senior running back prospect in Georgia. His production, especially in big games, is challenging that modest assessment.

Latimer rushed for 228 yards and scored his team’s six touchdowns, one a 25-yard reception, in a 42-17 victory over Troup last week in a game between undefeated teams for a region championship.

Latimer went over 5,000 yards from scrimmage for his career in the game. He scored his 75th rushing or receiving touchdown.

Latimer is the younger brother of former Sandy Creek quarterback Geimere Latimer, who led the Patriots to a 2022 state title. Amari plans to join his brother at Wisconsin next season.
