Texas Dominates Preseason High School Football Rankings with 38 Teams in HSFA 300

The Lone Star State continues to assert its dominance in high school football, placing 38 teams in the Preseason High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football. The rankings, determined by a proprietary algorithm, highlight Texas as a powerhouse in prep football, with several teams positioned among the nation’s elite.

Texas Teams Leading the Pack

Leading the charge for Texas is Duncanville, ranked No. 11 in the nation. The Panthers saw their two-year reign as 6A Division I state champions end last season in a heartbreaking semifinal loss to eventual champion North Crowley, which enters 2025 at No. 13.

Southlake Carroll, a perennial contender, starts at No. 22 after falling to Vandegrift in last year’s 6A Division II title game. Meanwhile, Westlake, which lost to North Crowley in the state championship, is ranked No. 28.

Other notable Texas teams in the top 100 include:

  • Allen (No. 41) – A three-time national champion (2012-2014) looking to reclaim its throne.

  • North Shore (No. 43) – A consistent Houston-area powerhouse.

  • Atascocita (No. 46) – Another strong Houston ISD program.

  • Vandegrift (No. 51) – The reigning 6A Division II champs.

  • Lake Travis (No. 75) – A perennial Austin-area contender.

National Overview: California and Florida Shine

While Texas boasts the most teams in the rankings, California and Florida dominate the top spots. Mater Dei (No. 1), St. John Bosco (No. 2), and Bishop Gorman (No. 3) lead the nation, while Florida’s IMG Academy (No. 5) and St. Thomas Aquinas (No. 10) also crack the top 10.

Key Storylines for 2025
