High School Football America's 2021 Preseason 300

The 2021 Preseason High School Football America 100 will be released on July 15.

2021 marks the ninth year that HSFA has used the algorithm to create its national high school football rankings.

To get fans ready for the Top 100, HSFA has released The 300, a state-by-state alphabetical look at the top teams heading into the 2021 season.

Florida leads the way in The 300 with a total of 53 teams. Right behind the Sunshine State is Texas, with 49 teams in the preseason rankings, followed by California with 40. Georgia has the fourth most teams with 25.

IMG Academy is High School Football America’s defending national champ. The Ascenders recently hired former NFL player Pepper Johnson as the program’s new head coach.
