This week's MaxPreps Game of the Week takes us to Tennessee as No. 22 Brentwood Academy (Brentwood, Tenn.) hosts St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia, Pa.).

Fresh off its first win of the season, Brentwood Academy boasts one of the richest championship pedigrees in Tennessee with 14 state titles since 1974.

With nine state titles since 2013, St. Joseph's Prep would love to make a statement to begin the 2026 season after a disappointing 5-5 campaign a year ago. The Hawks have two separate championship three-peats in the past decade, winning titles from 2018-20 and 2022-24.

There is no shortage of starpower on both rosters, especially at the wide receiver position. Tennessee commit Kesean Bowman is a top 10 receiver in the Class of 2027 and has more than 1,600 career receiving yards with 19 touchdowns for Brentwood Academy. St. Joseph's Prep junior Jett Harrison is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, brother of Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and arguably the top wide receiver nationally in the Class of 2028.

Other Brentwood Academy college commits include linebacker Kenneth Simon II (Tennessee), offensive tackles Li'Marcus Jones (Colorado) and Rance Brown (Auburn), tight end Judah Lancaster (South Carolina), quarterback Crews Jenkins (Ole Miss) and kicker Owen Davies (Notre Dame) among others.

For St. Joseph's Prep, linebackers Brandon Lockley (Oregon) and John Boggs (Princeton) along with cornerbacks Masiia Acrey (Syracuse) and Brandon Ross (Buffalo) anchor the defense. Tight end Jake Wilson (Army) and wide receiver Alston Frisbey (Sacred Heart) complement Harrison as offensive weapons.

Both schools have produced NFL Pro Bowlers and Super Bowl champions, highlighted by Harrison Jr., Jon Runyan Jr., D'Andre Swift and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for St. Joseph's and Jalen Ramsey, Dawson Knox and Derek Barnett for Brentwood Academy.
