Video: Preseason Top 25 high school football rankings We set the tone for 2020 by looking at high school football's elite.
Questions persist heading into the 2020 high school football season because of the coronavirus pandemic. It will be different state-by-state and county-by-county.
Some out-of-state games have already been canceled and more could follow.
One thing is certain — this season will be one we've not seen before.
We're months from kickoff and a lot may change, but we're excited about getting back on the field and 2020 high school football action. With that anticipation noted, here's a look at the MaxPreps Preseason High School Football Top 25 Rankings.
Ten different states are represented along with Washington, D.C. as California and Texas lead the way with five teams each landing in our initial Top 25.
Florida is next up with four while Maryland and Georgia are the other states with multiple teams featured.
