It was another honor for Moeller quarterback Matt Ponatoski who was named the OPSMA Division I Offensive Player of the Year. A week earlier, Ponatoski was announced as the prestigious Ohio Mr. Football for the 2024 season. The junior finished the year with 4,187 yards passing, 57 touchdown passes (tied for 16th most in a single season, in Ohio history) and only three interceptions. He heads into his final campaign with 7,614 yards and 86 touchdowns passing.

Here is a look at the 2024 Ohio Prep Sports Media Association Division I All-Ohio Football Teams, as selected by a media panel from around the state.
