Receiving the award alongside North Hobart 17-year-old Claire Ransom, the 16-year-old has cemented himself as one of the state's brightest football prospects.
Playing seven NAB League games, the Northern Bomber averaged 16 disposals and 4.1 tackles per game, taking on plenty of players eligible for this year's AFL draft.
Ransom, 17, played every game for the girls' side, averaging 15.6 disposals, 2.6 tackles and three inside-50s per game.
Originally booked in for last Saturday night, the Devils' awards ceremony was cancelled due to the Southern lockdown, prompting them to take the announcements virtual.
During this week, the goal-kicking and best and fairests for both NAB League sides as well as the best under-17 player will be announced.
