Each year since 2006, MaxPreps has recognized outstanding performers in high school football. America's source for high school sports continues the tradition to close out the 2020 season by naming the top player in each state. Selections are based on team success and individual excellence, in addition to local and state accolades.
Dylan Rollins of
Sentinel (Missoula) is the 2020 MaxPreps Montana High School Football Player of the Year. The 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive lineman paved the way for a Spartan offense that averaged 45.2 points and 412.8 yards per game.
Sentinel went 10-0 en route to its first state title since 1972, beating opponents by an average margin of 38 points per game.
Headed to BYU next year, Rollins is the first FBS recruit to come out of Montana since 2013. Air Force, Minnesota and Oregon State were among his other offers.
Each state's MaxPreps Player of the Year will be considered for inclusion in the MaxPreps All-America Team, which will be released Jan. 29.
