Top 10 football programs on the rise nationally

Even casual football fans have heard the names of the country's most prominent high school programs: De La Salle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Katy, Don Bosco Prep.

While every state has well-established programs with reputations for excellence, there are a number of teams that are taking the next step into national prominence.

MaxPreps looks at the Top 10 programs on the rise around the country.

10. Jordan (Sandy, Utah)
2010 finish: 9-4
2011 record: 3-0
Head coach: Eric Kjar
As Bingham got hammered by Orange Lutheran on Saturday, the landscape of Utah high school football felt the shockwaves. Jordan, which lost to Bingham in the 5A semifinals last season, could be the team to supplant the Miners as the state's top team. Led by freshman quarterback Austin Kafentzis and a strong offensive line, Jordan is 3-0 so far this season and improving each week.
