On Monday, the East Central star was named Running Back Mr. Football by the Indiana Football Coaches Association. As the top player at his position, Ringer is officially on the ballot for overall Mr. Football.

Ringer finished his senior season with 2,880 rushing yards (new school record) and 55 touchdowns. He also caught 13 passes for 278 yards and five scores.
